Which browsers support data URIs and since which version?

Question

Which browsers support data URIs (RFC 2397) and since which version?

Answer 1

Data URI support status for the five major browsers:

• Chrome, supported in all versions
• Firefox, supported in all versions
• Internet Explorer, supported since 8.0 (however, some restrictions apply)
• Opera, supported since 7.2
• Safari, supported in all versions

Additionally this trick can be used to detect data URI support.
