We also wanted to push some of the new features in CSS3, which are not fully supported by all browsers, but renders well enough in the latest releases of the major browsers. While you will have the best experience on our site with the latest Web-Kit browsers (Safari, and Chrome), we allowed for use of all the major browsers by progressively enhancing our CSS.
