Summary filter: url() ignored when backdrop-filter applied

Reported 2025-08-22 01:26:05 PDT
Created attachment 476487 [details] test case When a the backdrop-filter and filter property are applied to the same element, referencing a svg filter with `filter: url()` has no effect. This is unexpected since using a filter function like `filter: invert()` works. Steps to reproduce: ------------------- open the attached test case or see https://codepen.io/2pinch/pen/VYvxWeM Expected results: ----------------- both squares should be green Notes ----- - Tested in Webkit 299043@main and Safari 18.6 (20621.3.11.11.3)

Accelerated filters (including backdrop-filter) can't use SVG filters, sadly.

Ah, that's unfortunate. Is there a way to make an element switch to the non-accelerated filter path? My current case is to apply this to a single 50x50px element which I suspect to be uncritical performance-wise for a filter chain without heavy stuff like blurs.

While this is related to bug 245510 this isn't strictly a duplicate. The given example works in Gecko, which also doesn't support using svg filter in backdrop-filter, but allows `filter: url(#...)` when a backdrop-filter is applied. This is only intended to provide additional context, which I hope will be helpful.
