    @williamoconnell I think you’re misunderstanding Progressive Enhancement here.

    Progressive Enhancement is **not** about giving browsers without support for a feature a worse experience to the user.

    Progressive Enhancement is about giving all browsers a good experience at the base and allowing browsers with proper support for a certain feature to providing a *better* experience to the user.

    @bramus It is possible (afaik) to build this type of animation in a cross-browser way, so if you choose not to do that then you're sacrificing the experience of non-chromium users vs. if you had picked a different solution. That doesn't make it the wrong choice, but it seems valid to point out.

    I don't think progressive enhancement means you should pick the least-compatible implementation for features just because they're non-essential.
