Hello there!

I was reading the section regarding hyphenation, where it is said it is not recommended to justify the content, as hyphenation works pourly. I am not sure when it was written, but do you think this issue persists?
I found some content regarding this, specially these articles:
https://justmarkup.com/articles/2019-01-28-a-look-at-css-hyphenation-in-2019/
http://clagnut.com/blog/2395/

It still has some support issues, as Chrome for windows and Linux don't support it (for example, try the Clagnut website on Firefox, it uses hyphenation). But it is supported for mobile devices.

So do you think there is anything to be reconsidered in this matter with recent browser development?

While there is support for hyphenation, and you can choose to turn it on as I do on my blog, the point I make here about justified text still stands. The hyphenation algorithms are so basic that fully justified text is still a mess. (On my blog I hyphenate but left-align my body text).
