Wow, very useful. Sure beats hunting for this information. Is this information anecdotal or have you guys actually done the tests in each environment?

It would also be nice to be able to actually select a device + version and then getting a feature set for it. Not a big deal though as this really saves time nonetheless.

Of all of these features, the one I most want to see greater support for is Web Workers. I think this could be a huge boon for a variety of interesting client side work, and a nice complement to web sockets...

Ironically, half of this page is unreadable on Opera Mini 6.x

Why build a new site for it, especially ending up with lower readability, shitty contrasts and 20% of the page lost to a pointlessly huge signpost, instead of contributing to caniuse?

Please set your site to be resizable in mobile browsers. It's not very useful if the text is too tiny to read.

IE9 for mobile seems very far behind in HTML5 compatibility. Is Microsoft going to use the excuse that "they are waiting to do things right", again, while everyone else plunges ahead?

Looks like this is a repackaging of http://caniuse.com/, which does test in each environment: http://caniuse.com/#info_faq using this custom-built site: http://tests.caniuse.com/.

No word at caniuse about devices tested, but if that matters then you have a bigger problem. It should be consistent if you have the same software version.

I can't speak for anyone else but the only reason I'm browsing this site is so I can see a giant orange & white 5 emblem. I found one but it's a little hard to notice, they should consider making it two or three times bigger.

In fact, I don't know why all this space is being wasted by this stupid chart thingy. Maybe they should push the chart off onto another site so that they can stay focused on what is important about this one.
