SpecificationNone. Not a standard feature. Summary Event.path is a non-standard API that returns the event's path, which is an array of the objects on which listeners will be invoked. It is supported by Blink only, causing web compatibility issues. Web developers should switch to the equivalent standard API Event.composedPath(), which returns the same result. Blink componentBlink>DOM <https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3EDOM> TAG review TAG review statusNot applicable Risks Interoperability and Compatibility The removal of this API should improve interoperability, as it's supported by Blink only. It still has 18% usage as of Feb 2022 ( https://chromestatus.com/metrics/feature/timeline/popularity/345), so we will only deprecate it for now, and will not remove it before the usage drops low enough. We expect low compatibility risks, since there is an equivalent standard API (Event.composedPath()) by all browsers, and the following polyfill should also keep existing sites functioning with minimum changes: if (!Event.prototype.path) { Object.defineProperty(Event.prototype, 'path', { get() { return this.composedPath(); } }); } Gecko: No signal Firefox does not support Event.path WebKit: No signal Safari does not support Event.path Web developers: Positive ( https://github.com/web-platform-tests/interop-2022/issues/26) Other signals: Debuggability Usage of this deprecated feature will be reported to the DevTools Issues Tab.
