Too many old prefixes supported #2014

Open YemSalat opened 9 years ago

YemSalat commented 9 years ago

Compass supports way too many very old css prefixes that are used by less then 0.00001% of browsers today. Yet everyone has to download all this generated bloat.

Maybe consider a prefix refresh?

From homepage examples: -moz-box-shadow: 0px 5px #333333; -webkit-box-shadow: 0px 5px #333333;

Who uses these?? They have been obsolete for at least 3 years now.

(I haven't been using compass for some time because of this, maybe things have changed? You should update your examples page then)

Compass attemps maximize browser support. If you don't like it, you are free to configure it to behave differently: http://compass-style.org/help/documentation/tuning-vendor-prefixes/

part of the problem here is that Compass uses caniuse data that is a year old, thus out-of-date.

What really is required is a new release with updated caniuse data.

If that is the case - it really would be good to update those lists, html5 support grew quite a lot in the past year. And I am not sure where caniuse gets its browser market share statistics, but I have realized some time ago that any browser usage statistics should be taken with a large grain of salt.

I also think that most devs don't bother to configure the prefixes, but if they were directly asked whether they want to support some obscure browser with 0.1% of users (and thats 0.1% worldwide, which is important) - most will say NO.

Seems similar to #2001
