Stay up to date with MDN Updates

Whether Web APIs, JavaScript, CSS, HTTP, or HTML, MDN Web Docs reflects the ever-changing landscape for features across the most popular browsers and devices with detailed documentation and guidance geared towards developers.

When you're developing for the Web, you need to make sure you're building applications with well-supported features to give your users the best experience. Choosing new Web features means that you need to keep an eye on compatibility changes as vendors frequently add, update, or remove support for Web platform technologies.

MDN Updates is a feature that helps you navigate and curate Web platform technology support via a stream of updates. The results organized in the stream of updates show compatibility by feature across fourteen different browser engines, from iOS and Android to desktop and server platforms.

Features are categorized by technology like CSS, HTML, JavaScript, HTTP, and others to let you focus on the technologies that impact your development projects.

MDN Plus Updates lets you quickly get an overview of new, experimental, and upcoming browser support, new sub-features under a major feature, deprecated or removed support, and changes to existing browser compatibility data entries.

Using MDN Plus Updates

To use Updates, navigate to the MDN Plus Updates page, where you can see a list of all changes in browser support for features on MDN Web Docs listed by date.

Filtering and searching web platform updates

By default, the list of updates shows all changes grouped by browser release version and date. Selecting a browser from the dropdown menu will filter the list of changes to only show changes for that browser. You can select a category from the dropdown menu to only show changes for that technology category or combine that with a browser filter to show only changes for a specific browser and technology category.

Saving a feature to a collection allows you to add the feature to a collection of saved features. You can create multiple collections to organize and group features you want to track.
