Hey guys,

I'm currently making a website and I wanted to know if it's overall safe to use CSS 3 features. I've done the research to know what browser support what right now, but I wanted the opinion here of if it's generally OK to use these features nowadays?

Thanks

Is it for your website or for a client? If so has the client specified which browsers he wants supported?

Which features do you want to use, how will the site display if they aren't supported?

As a raincheck: frontend guys are a bit wary of using psudo classes etc at the moment and are just using HTML for safety

That answer depends on your web site visitors. Do you have any activity reports to see the mix of browsers they use?

It also depends on which specific css3 features you want to use.
See http://css3please.com/ to get started testing.

See http://caniuse.com/ too.

Thanks for the replies and the links guys. The client is in fact me lol I'm making the website for myself so its not overly important. I've had a good look around and all I'm going to use is the rounded corners at the moment.

I never really do any web development stuff so it's nice to play around. Nice to see that Microsoft is holding back the chance for everyone to move on though haha

Rounded corners are cool, if it did become a problem for future there are some JavaScript workarounds that can be done for older versions of IE, although they can be a bit tricky to get looking right.
