This is great, thank you! I’ve been living in backend-land for so long I’ve never actually used the <picture> tag. I will have to take a stab at it and see how the legacy browsers treat it, because if I don’t have to use GIFs, I won’t. As for the @media tags, I do utilize them to a degree, just to make everything render nicely on mobile and to support dark-mode. But (to put it cheekily) I’m more concerned with backwards compatibility than forwards compatibility :p

But (to put it cheekily) I’m more concerned with backwards compatibility than forwards compatibility :p I definitely recognized that! My thought was take that backcompat focus further and relegate whatever forward compat you do choose to support not to @media queries, but the media attribute on link tags[1]. Why should HTML 4 browser users download dark mode CSS they can’t use? ;) 1: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/link#attr-media https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/li...
