I've run the masonry layout (for my personal bookmark website) ever since I've found it in the browser settings.

grid-template-rows: masonry;

is going to be outdated then?

Yeah, there was a years long debate that effectively ended with: “We held a vote that you weren’t aware of and decided that masonry was out. If you cared, you should have participated in the vote that you were not aware was happening. It’s too late to change it.”

I still prefer the layout look from something like justifiedGallery.js where the heights of each row are the same. Actual masonry with stacking stones would never stack directly on top of each other like this. Calling it masonry just feels unnatural as anything stacked like that would easily be knocked over. "Lanes" is definitely more appropriately named than "masonry". The layout look of a justifiedGallery would be more masonry than the grid-template-rows:masonry setting. yeah yeah, raw css vs js library blah blah
