    I was having a peaceful day until these CSS curiosities brought back memories of my painful days. It's really good that we don't need to deal with such hacks and vendor-specific things anymore. The last time I participated in a project that targeted an old browser was in 2018!

      Unfortunately that means everyone targets chrome.

      Then you end up with shit performance or broken sites in Firefox [1].

      You'd think with "AI" they could generate js/css that works in both browsers...

      [1] Which is the only browser that can still run proper ublock origin...

      Out of interest, how do you define “old”?

        Mostly Internet Explorer 7 and 8, some Mozilla Firefox builds. That’s what I had in mind when I said “old browsers.” The last project I worked on that still had to support browsers from that era was in 2018.
