gradients

Do provide a fallback color if you are using this as a value for background so browsers that do not support the gradients can render a solid background color.

Can I Use

Works in

IE9+

Should you use gradients in 2026?

We also suggest you drop old WebKit syntax and only use the final syntax for gradient values. If you need deeper support you should use -moz- and -webkit- prefixes with the previous syntax (no to keyword and flipped angles).

Polyfills and fallbacks

Progressive enhancement works well here: browsers without support degrade gracefully, so a dedicated polyfill is usually unnecessary.
