I don't like that caniuse by default shows only several recent browser versions, deceiving developers and making it look like some new technology is supported everywhere. It is clearly a "dark" UI pattern that motivates developers to make sites viewable only on latest Macbook.
Instead, it should show the year since which some feature is supported.
For example, for flexbox it could write:
IE - never
Edge - since 2015
Firefox - since Mar 2014
Safari - since Oct 2013
Opera - since Nov 2012
etc.
This gives a better picture.
- styfle 9y agoI actually like how it currently works because it doesn’t matter if Chrome 32 didn’t support feature X because no one is using it. The boxes are sized by their current usage and aligned based on the stable version. It’s a perfect chart to show your boss when someone complains about Firefox 4 not working. Clearly that person missed a few updates :) That being said, I would like a year on each column for the occurrences when time/year is relevant. Currently I just Show All.
