BROWSER_CAPABILITIES
Check which modern web technologies your browser supports.
What are browser capabilities?
Browser capabilities are the features and APIs that your web browser supports. Modern browsers implement various Web APIs like WebGL, WebRTC, Service Workers, and more. Not all browsers support all features.
Why do capabilities vary between browsers?
Different browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) are built by different companies with different priorities. Some features are experimental, some are standardized, and some are deprecated. Mobile browsers often have fewer capabilities than desktop versions.
What is feature detection?
Feature detection is a technique where websites check if your browser supports a specific feature before using it. This allows sites to provide fallbacks for older browsers while using advanced features in modern ones.
Can missing capabilities affect my browsing?
Yes. Some websites require specific features to function. For example, video conferencing sites need WebRTC, 3D games need WebGL, and progressive web apps need Service Workers. Missing capabilities may limit functionality.
