Browser support mindset

How to think about feature availability without memorizing vendor matrices.

  • Baseline vs bleeding edge: Treat widely shipped features as safe defaults; gate newer APIs behind feature detection or progressive enhancement.
  • Use MDN + compat tables: Cross-check element attributes and DOM APIs against current evergreen browsers your audience uses.
  • Automated checks: Linters, CI accessibility scans, and manual keyboard passes catch gaps matrices miss.
  • Polyfills thoughtfully: Prefer native capabilities; ship polyfills only when business requirements demand legacy browsers.
