The Web has a lot of features, but not all of them are implemented by all browsers. The website (caniuse.com) provides you the info about which features are implemented by which browsers. So now you as a webdev can consider which features you want to use in your web apps.

Caniuse is a database listing browser support for all kind of web development features, i.e. what version of what browser supports what features of HTML, CSS, Javascript.
It helps web developers to determine what language features to use in order to be compatible with the browsers most of their users use.

Thank-you. You clarified a poorly written HN title.

From the "About" page (top right corner of the website that left you dumbfounded)
>"Can I use" provides up-to-date browser support tables for support of front-end web technologies on desktop and mobile web browsers.

If someone is unclear about what something does and the about page is more informative, then.. provide the link to the about page instead of the ambiguous feature page.

Do you think, after commenting for the 3rd time demanding more information about caniuse, you could just have clicked that big "About" button?

The argument was against the HN title. It simply wasn't useful.
Arguing against clearer, less ambiguous HN titles is a strange position.

Your own about page says you're an elite rails dev, it's so bizarre to see you double down about caniuse's purpose being unclear.

It is a website that you can type in some web technology such as "
CookieStore API" and know at a glance which browsers support it and which browser versions.

you search a feature and it tells you what browsers support what features, such as this for CSS Grid[0] highlights which browsers support the CSS Grid specification. You can search for individual sub features as well.
What is it..?
From that page.. A language for in browsing testing (because of the webassembly support)? But there’s some component features, so that doesn’t appear to be the case.
I’m an avid reader of HN and this is the first time I’ve seen this tool/language/lib mentioned on the front page. So I know nothing.
How did this make it to the top? I can’t be the only one guessing.
