Should you use Interaction media features in 2026?

The usage of polyfills is strongly recommended due to the current level of browser support (Edge, Chrome 41+, Opera 28+, and Safari 9 at the time of writing).

mq4-hover-shim provides support in non-bleeding-edge browsers for detecting the primary pointer's ability to hover or not (i.e. the (hover: hover) media query).
