Can I Use provides up-to-date browser support tables for support of front-end web technologies on desktop and mobile web browsers, targeted at web developers.

---

🚀 Overview

Can I Use (caniuse.com) is a comprehensive database that offers detailed browser compatibility information for HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript APIs, and other web platform features. It allows developers to quickly assess whether a particular technology can be used in production by showing support across major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, and mobile variants.

The project solves the problem of fragmented and outdated browser support documentation, enabling developers to make informed decisions about feature adoption, polyfills, or fallbacks without extensive testing. It was created by Alexis Deveria (@fyrd) over 10 years ago to centralize this critical data.

It's built for front-end developers, web teams, and anyone building cross-browser compatible websites and apps. The motivation is to empower the web development community with reliable, community-updated data to accelerate modern web development.
