(ID: ) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/14/2018 I tried this extension last simply because the icon doesn't look as appealing. But man was I wrong! The user interface looks slick and pleasant. It provides the latest data from caniuse. Very handy config options. Both the other 2 extensions stopped updating a long time ago. Thank you for taking the time to make this! Highly recommend!

Luke Denton (ID: 000000603b967dfe) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 04/30/2018 Simple, quick and easy to use. Set it up with a keyboard shortcut and you have CanIUse at your fingertips at all times, very handy for a frontend developer, or even more so for a backend developer who isn't used to browser quirks
