Q: Clearing will-change CSS property What is the correct value for 'clearing' the will-change CSS property? I tried using 'auto', but according to Chrome Dev Tools (in both the current version of Chrome (46), and Canary (48)) that's an invalid property value.


A: According to auto-complete in Firefox, it seems to be 'unset'.


A: You can use javascript to set it as auto which is the default 'initial' state like so:
this.style.willChange = 'auto';

Alternatively try:
Will-Change: initial;

Please note that Chrome only supports will-change as of Chrome 36+ so if you use a browser version before that then it will not recognise it. Will-Change is currently not supported in IE, Edge or Safari:

A: According to the spec, the initial value is auto:

So this is likely a Chrome-Dev-Tools bug.
