Remove Internet Explorer 10 support
Would you kindly remove Internet Explorer 10 support from normalize.css to make it lighter. Internet Explorer 10 is no longer relevant in 2020.
According to statistics, only 0.02% of the Internet still using IE 10. It means that IE 10 is less popular than IE 9 and even IE 8, but Normalize doesn't support them. In addition, Normalize.css is "a modern, HTML5-ready alternative to CSS resets", so it would be logical to get rid of redundant, rudimentary code.
Statistics taken from here
Would be great to create tool in which you could select which browser support are you interested in, and as the result you could download bundled CSS file with rules related only to the browsers that you've selected. Alternatively, maybe a CDN link, since there are finite number of combinations it is doable.
If someone could divide the rules based on what browser does they apply to, i could create bundler and web gui
For example, each rule could have comment specifying which browser requires them
sometag {
rule-requred-by-firefox-only: value; /* required-by: ff */
rule-required-by-internet-explorer: value; /* requred-by: ie8; ie9; ie10 */
}
EDIT: From what i've seen, it's already done in a way. But this project hasn't seen a new commit in 2 years. Is anyone interested in such feature?
@kamilbeben I believe you are referring to something akin to browserlist and polyfill.io.
I compiled all these " junk" browsers myself (normalize-oldies.css) : it represents a small addition of 1kb and doesn't really hurt modern dev.
In any case, the project hasn't been maintained and updated for a while, which, by the way, makes it possible to reconsider the idea of "throwing out the old stuff" :-)
Normalize is woefully outdated and probably shouldn't be used anymore. It has bugs and issues that haven't been rectified in years, and honestly the whole browser landscape has changed. I've switched back to a simple CSS reset instead.
