Browser Compatibility Checker - CSS & JS Feature Support
Check whether specific CSS properties, JavaScript APIs, and HTML features are supported across major browsers. Enter a feature name and see compatibility data for Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile browsers.
Based on real browser compatibility data, the checker shows support status across current and recent browser versions. Color-coded results make it easy to spot which browsers need fallbacks or polyfills for the features you want to use.
Cross-browser compatibility remains one of web development's persistent challenges. A CSS feature that works perfectly in Chrome might render differently in Safari or not work at all in older Edge versions. Checking compatibility before implementation saves hours of debugging.
After verifying feature support, use our CSS Flexbox Generator or CSS Grid Generator to build layouts with built-in fallbacks. Our Responsive Design Tester lets you preview the actual rendering across different viewports.
For a complete cross-browser development workflow, verify feature support with this tool, test actual layouts across viewport sizes with our Responsive Design Tester, generate compatible CSS layouts with our CSS Flexbox Generator or CSS Grid Generator, and validate your meta tags with our Meta Tag Generator.
How the Browser Compatibility Checker Works
- 01Enter a CSS property, JavaScript API, or HTML feature name
- 02View compatibility data across Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile browsers
- 03See which browser versions first introduced support
- 04Check the global usage percentage of supported browsers
- 05Get polyfill or fallback recommendations for unsupported browsers
Managing Browser Compatibility
Browser compatibility becomes manageable with a clear support policy. Define which browsers and versions you officially support based on your analytics. For most sites, supporting the last 2-3 versions of major browsers covers 95%+ of visitors. Use progressive enhancement: build a core experience that works everywhere, then add advanced features for capable browsers. CSS @supports queries let you conditionally apply styles based on feature support. For JavaScript APIs, check for feature existence before using them (if ('IntersectionObserver' in window)).
When to Check Browser Compatibility
Check compatibility before using new CSS features (container queries, :has() selector, subgrid), when adopting new JavaScript APIs (View Transitions, Popover API), when debugging layout issues reported in specific browsers, when setting up a project's browser support policy (browserslist configuration), or when evaluating whether to use a polyfill or fallback approach.
Common Use Cases
- Verify CSS Grid subgrid support before using it in a production layout
- Check if the Popover API is safe to use without a polyfill
- Determine browserslist configuration for a new project's build tools
- Test actual layouts across devices with our Responsive Design Tester → Responsive Design Tester
- Evaluate whether to use native CSS nesting or continue with a preprocessor
Expert Tips
- Check your own analytics for your visitors' actual browser distribution - global stats may not match your audience
- Use @supports in CSS to progressively enhance without breaking older browsers
- Safari is often the lagging browser for new CSS features - always verify Safari support explicitly
- Autoprefixer handles vendor prefixes automatically - focus your compatibility checks on feature existence, not prefixes
