Chapter 7: Images and Graphics

Some form of SVG support is present in IE9 and above, Android 3.0 and above, and all other major browsers. SVG filters are slightly more limited, being unavailable in IE9 and Android, although using SVG filters on HTML elements works reliably only in Firefox. The new CSS filter() function is currently implemented in nightly Chrome builds, but it is disabled by default. The use of fragment identifiers in SVG is possible only in IE10 and Firefox.

Support for the canvas element is in IE9 and above and all other major browsers. Firefox, Chrome, Safari (desktop), and Opera all have implementations of WebGL, although it’s disabled by default in some browsers, notably Safari and Chrome for Android.
