"A perfect solution for cross-browser support without the hassle"

5/5

What do you like best about Modernizr?

This javascript solution is extremely useful, removing most of the hard work needed to support every browsers, old or new, and allowing you to simply get things to work and easily detect what the troubles could be and react to them by coding around and/or using the workaround present in Modernizr.

Recommendations to others considering Modernizr:

This product has been getting more and more useful in the last 5 years, with more and more browser versions and more and more CSS4 now getting into the browsers, it's always useful to be able to detect supported elements Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Modernizr solving and how is that benefiting you?

Much older browser support, easily determining how and what can be used in the project as both CSS and JS without having to rely on either badly written custom workaround or detection code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"JavaScript library that allows detection of client browser features"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Modernizr?

The setup is as simple as including the library on the main site of our web, and then making the various calls we need through its API. It offers good documentation to see the different possibilities it presents, as well as usage examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Modernizr?

It is necessary to modify the original website to include the library, which is sometimes undesirable and also slightly increases the weight of the website and consequently its loading time. Some of the features it offers are not well documented, and you have to resort to trial and error. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Your website for all browsers with just one tool"

5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Really good feature detection that's easy to configure and use."

4.5/5

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Modernizr solving and how is that benefiting you?

Browser feature detection for better browser support in websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was a bit of a learning curve at first Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
