@spzb @kolya @robpike You could have it as a user preference. Rather than those hideous date pickers that take tens or hundreds of clicks to do what 8 keystrokes could do.

@dalias @spzb @robpike
You do realise that you can type into the date picker I just linked on MDN, right?

@kolya @spzb @robpike I didn't get it to load to check, but that doesn't work on the vast majority of real world sites..

@dalias @spzb @robpike
That is a web standard, the browser compatibility chart showing it does work on all modern browsers is right there. It doesn't require JS or anything.

@kolya @dalias @spzb @robpike I loathe any MM/DD/YYYY or DD/MM/YYYY format because for many dates (including my birthday, spouse, and 1 kid) there is a little ambiguity. I don't care if it is "standard", it sucks, I write all my US-normie dates DD-Month-YYYY and all my sensible person dates YYYY-MM-DD.

@dalias @dr2chase @spzb @robpike
Not sure what you mean. <input type="date"> does not require enabling.
If you mean the date format preference in your browser I think chromium based browsers only have a language selection that implies a certain date format. In that case look in your OS settings.
