autoprefixer: Detailed Overview & Metrics
Autoprefixer is a popular PostCSS plugin that automatically adds vendor prefixes to CSS rules, ensuring cross-browser compatibility. It saves developers time by eliminating the need to manually add prefixes for properties like flexbox, grid layout, and more. Autoprefixer uses data from Can I Use to determine which prefixes are needed based on browser support, making it a reliable tool for modern web development.
When compared to manual prefixing or other tools like PrefixFree, Autoprefixer stands out for its extensive browser support database and active maintenance. It is regularly updated to support the latest CSS features and browser versions, making it a go-to choice for many front-end developers.
