What type of issue is this?
Missing compatibility data
What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?
Chromium-based browsers and Firefox do not yet support the closest-corner and farthest-corner values for the circle(). And it seems they are not supported in any browser for the ellipse() function, at the moment.
What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?
Chromium (Chrome, Edge 79+, Opera, Samsung Internet), Firefox, Safari
What did you expect to see?
A support entry for the two values mentioned above.
Did you test this? If so, how?
Browserstack with Safari 26.4, Chrome 148, and Firefox 150.
