Quick question, do you keep your browser up to date?

Working with the newest and most awesome CSS features is such a blessing. We have so many cool new things to help us create amazing UI elements, and it would be a shame not to use them now. Personally, if the feature has been supported by all browsers for at least a year, I believe it's safe to use. What's the situation here?

It's important because updating provide benefits, like security, performance while browsing websites (if you have seen chrome speculation APIs rule).

I used to be very conservative, using CSS2.1 + jQuery and keeping things simple. I always checked Can I use or MDN to confirm if a new property was widely supported. Now, I try to use the latest technologies whenever possible. CSS can now achieve many things that previously required JavaScript, often with better performance. Both approaches have their merits. The former ensures better compatibility for my works, especially websites or web apps. The latter enhances the functionality and appeal of the site. If the target audience is young, I wouldn't hesitate to choose new technologies.
