Can I use

Type caniuse (or ciu) and the name of a web feature, such as grid, flexbox gap, webp or fetch. A panel shows which browsers support it, and since when.

The Can I use panel for CSS Grid Layout: a usage bar, and a table of browsers with the version that first supported it.

  • Up to eight matches as buttons, best first. Click one to switch. Words are matched against feature names, keywords and descriptions, and every word must match.
  • Global support: the share of users whose browser fully supports the feature, and the share with partial support, as a bar.
  • A table for Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Safari on iOS, Chrome for Android, Samsung Internet and Opera: the current version, whether it is supported, partly supported (with a note), needs a prefix, is off by default or is not supported, and the version that first supported it.
  • The specification status, notes, a link to the specification and other reading, Copy summary (a one-line summary you can paste into a pull request) and Open on caniuse.com.

The data is the public Can I use dataset (licensed CC BY 4.0), from the Fyrd/caniuse repository on GitHub.

  • The first search downloads it (about 450 KB compressed) from raw.githubusercontent.com. Your browser does this, not the server.
  • It is then kept in your browser’s cache and used for a week; after that it is refreshed. If you are offline, the saved copy is used and the panel says so.
  • The cache needs a secure context, which localhost is. If you open Home Screen by a plain http:// address on your network, the data is downloaded again in each browser session.
  • Nothing about what you search for is sent anywhere: the search runs in your browser on the downloaded data.

The data is not part of the program, so the program stays small. It is also a widget, Can I use.
