Do we have to use non-standard/browser specific CSS vendor prefixes anymore?

Question

Given that I\'m not really bothered about backwards compatibility (I\'m exploring CSS3 and HTML5 based design, rather than relying on on graphics and such) what are the bene

Answer 1

It really depends on which features and which browsers you want to fully support. Even now some browsers are lagging.

Answer 2

All browsers generally move towards standards support.

There are two issues

1. A lot of the CSS3 rules available to us to use are still under review - i.e. not part of any standard yet.
2. Some people persist in using older versions of a browser, which may not have support for non-prefixed rules.

For these two reasons, we continue to use vendor-prefixed CSS rules in our stylesheets.

Answer 3

The only prefix you need right now is the -webkit for chrome and safari support. Webkit is needed for -webkit-animation, -webkit-font-feature-settings, display: -webkit-flex, -webkit-filter etc..

-ms, -o and -moz provide support for browsers that even their own companies have stopped supporting.
