Why is the transition property prefixed with - webkit- only? Immediately this starts off on an incompatible, vendor-locked foot.

Edit: seems all of the properties are Webkit- prefixed. :/



It seems to use the prefix for the browser you're visiting the site in (I see -moz- properties). Fine, but I'm not convinced the prefixes were required at all for quite a few of the properties.


It's legacy. This dates back to April 2015 when there were still some reasons to use prefixed properties. Rather than list all of them in css - which would have been ugly - I choose the one useful to your browser.
