Selector specificity not working for !important rules

When two selectors match the same element, and both have !important, then the selector specificity is ignored and the last rule wins:

inlineCss('<style>p a {color: red!important} a{color: black!important}</style>  <p><a>test', {url: '/'}).then(s=>console.log(s))
// '<p><a style="color: black;">test</a></p>'
inlineCss('<style>a{color: black!important} p a {color: red!important}</style>  <p><a>test', {url: '/'}).then(s=>console.log(s))
// '<p><a style="color: red;">test</a></p>'

However for the browsers it’s different. No matter which rule goes first, if both have !important in them, the more specific wins.

If they are equal in specificity, then the last rule indeed wins.

One more thing. Today I’ve found out, that source of style is also ignored with regards to important. For the following HTML:

<style>
p {
  color: red !important;
}
</style>
<p style="color: blue !important">test</p>

the output will be:

<p style="color: red !important">test</p>

while it should be:

<p style="color: blue !important">test</p>
