Do browsers not render the blink tag anymore? I just tested it on Chrome and Firefox and it looks like it has been laid to rest.

- jeroen 12y agoFirefox 22 was the last version to support it. The other big browsers have ended support as well. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/blink https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/bl...
- e15ctr0n 12y agoSupport for the <blink> tag was dropped in Firefox 23 in August 2013[0][1]. In February 2013, Opera had announced that it would switch from its Presto rendering engine (which supported <blink>) to WebKit (which never did). Since Internet Explorer's Trident rendering engine never supported <blink> either, this would leave Firefox's Gecko as the only rendering engine to support it. In April 2013, Chrome forked WebKit to create its own rendering engine called Blink[3] (named, ironically, because it doesn't support the <blink> tag.)
