Cut the mustard revisited

Read Original

The article discusses the evolution of the 'Cut the Mustard' browser feature detection method, originally from the BBC. It critiques an older check and proposes a modernized version using 'visibilityState' and 'serviceWorker' APIs to better target capable browsers, enable offline support, and practice progressive enhancement without polyfilling old browsers.
