Your website for all browsers with just one tool **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Graphic Design | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** June 17, 2018 **What do you like best about Modernizr?** Modernizr is a JS library that cannot be missing from your web project. One of the most common problems in the development and design of web pages, is that web browsers do not behave the same, so modernizr allows you to detect features between browsers, this allows you to optimize our website to work properly in all browsers, or in the most popular. This quality of Modernizr allows us to create solutions adapted to each browser, avoiding erroneous behaviour in our applications or web pages. **What do you dislike about Modernizr?** Modernizr is a tool designed for developers, in order to implement it 100% you must have knowledge of SJ, although this would not be a disadvantage, it can represent a challenge for those who are starting to develop web applications. **What problems is Modernizr solving and how is that benefiting you?** This library saves developers a lot of time, allows them to create solutions according to the browser they are using, allows them to develop sites and applications compatible with all browsers. Modernizr is a feature detection library, it can be easily configured and quickly integrated into our projects. This library allows you to control the behavior of our site according to the browser that our users have, this through the detection of browser features. Many features can be detected, for example if your browser has plugins like Adobe Flash installed, or if you can play videos. With modernizr you can adjust the CSS resources, since browsers interpret style sheets differently. ### 8. Really good feature detection that's easy to configure and use. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jasper H. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** April 18, 2018 **What do you like best about Modernizr?** The build tool is very helpful in creating the build you need and it's easy to update an existing build since you are given a link to the current build. Having a standardized API for feature detection is nice. **What do you dislike about Modernizr?** A lot of the features are easily detected without the overhead of Modernizr. If you're only looking for local storage detection, just use "if ('localStorage' in window) { ... }" or something similar. **Recommendations to others considering Modernizr:** If you need a standardized API for feature detection in the browser, look no further. I wouldn't use it unless you have some tricky features to detect, like some CSS features. **What problems is Modernizr solving and how is that benefiting you?** Browser feature detection for better browser support in websites. ### 9.
