Firefox supports it. You're aware Firefox is OSS right?

Firefox went walled garden in v37. That said, at least this css grid garden has a elegant fallback. Most CSS grid sites don't. Or worse, they fall back to 'mobile' sites.

"Walled garden" in what sense?

The walled garden I speak of is the implementation of add-ons cryptographically signed by Mozilla only. Unless you run one of the betas (w/bugs) you cannot use any add-on not approved by Mozilla. And lately they've even been removing/banning add-ons that aren't illegal but otherwise upset outside corporations (ie, the paywall bypasser that uses googlebot's http headers substituted in).

There's no mainstream browser that doesn't suck (ie, they're all walled gardens) that supports CSS grid. Plus the other 4 billion people on Earth not in modern countries.

Use CSS grid with Flexbox for fallback.

I create my mobile version of pages with Flexbox, so if the user's browser doesn't support it, they see the full featured mobile view. Progressive enhancement.

Is there a browser you would recommend, if we ignored their HTML/CSS rendering for a second, based on ethical considerations, so to speak? I like making things compatible when I don't need anything modern, and would be interested in hearing about any browsers you think are worth supporting.

Curious as to why CSS Grid chose to start at 1-index rather than zero, and why the end column is one more than the position of the column that actually stops.

Maybe designers don't have a culture of counting from 0 like programmers do?

Ultimately these are just conventions. There are probably good reasons for them, too. For example having [a,b)* allows easier computation when you have things that abut. E.g. it's [a,b) [b,c) [c,d) rather than [a,b-1] [b,c-1] [c,d-1].

Is there a way to enable unsigned extensions at all, say from about:config?
