Which browsers have implemented SSE/EventSource?

All except IE and Android, as usual.

However, since SSE is HTTP-compatible you can easily implement fallback for these, e.g.

Wow, I seem to have missed the boat on caniuse.com =)

Thanks for the info, everyone.

Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Opera all have it. I believe IE10 will have it but I cant find a reference right now.

This seems to be the nicest shim to let you use EventSource on older browsers https://github.com/Yaffle/EventSource, I did make something similar myself but this is much more complete.

Chrome 13+, Firefox 6+, Safari 5+, Opera 11+. No IE support on the horizon, though.
