About Can I use
Overview
Can I use is a reference site that displays browser support tables for HTML5, CSS3, and other front-end web technologies. It helps web developers check whether specific features work across desktop and mobile browsers before implementing them in projects.
The site tracks support across all major browser versions and allows developers to filter by browser usage share thresholds. Users can import their own Google Analytics data to see how well features are supported among their specific audience, making support decisions based on real visitor data rather than global statistics.
Key Benefits
- Access to comprehensive, current browser support tables for hundreds of web technologies updated regularly.
- Import Google Analytics data to check feature support across your own site's visitors.
- Customize browser version display thresholds via the Settings panel to focus on relevant browsers.
- Partner with BrowserStack to test websites for compatibility across 2,000+ real browsers and devices.
- Use the "Usage relative" button to see support data scaled to your chosen usage source.
- Community-driven feature submissions allow new technologies to be added to the database.
How It Works
Users navigate to the home page or search for a specific web technology using the search bar. They select a feature to view its support table, which displays colored cells indicating support status across browser versions—green for supported, red for unsupported, yellow for partial support, and gray for unknown. Users can then access the Settings panel to import Google Analytics data, adjust minimum browser usage thresholds, or enable the Usage relative view to see support scaled to their audience.
Use Cases
- Front-end developers checking whether CSS Grid, Flexbox, or new viewport units are supported before writing production code.
- Cross-browser testers using BrowserStack integration to verify website appearance and functionality across 2,000+ real device configurations.
- Site owners importing Google Analytics to determine which features their visitors' browsers actually support.
- Web developers researching mobile browser adoption of WebAssembly, AVIF, or other emerging technologies.
- Technical leads making decisions about feature adoption based on their audience's browser capabilities.
Why Choose This Product
Can I use is best suited for web developers, QA teams, and technical leads who need current, authoritative browser support data before implementing new features. The ability to tie support decisions to your own Google Analytics data sets it apart from generic compatibility references, letting teams make informed choices based on their actual user base rather than global averages.
