## What it is
Browserhacks is a curated reference website and dataset listing browser-specific CSS and JavaScript hacks for targeting individual browsers. It is a static Jekyll site hosted on GitHub Pages where hacks are stored as JSON entries.

## Use cases
- find a CSS hack to target a specific browser version
- detect Chrome or Firefox via JavaScript
- fix a browser-specific rendering bug in a stylesheet
- look up media query hacks for Internet Explorer
- contribute new browser hacks to a community list

## When to choose
- you need a quick workaround for a browser-specific bug that cannot be fixed cleanly
- you want a tested, community-maintained collection of CSS/JS browser detection snippets
- you need to support legacy browsers like old IE or Edge

## When to avoid
- you can solve the problem with proper CSS or feature detection instead of a hack
- you need a maintained library or tool rather than a static reference list
- you only target evergreen modern browsers where hacks are rarely needed

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: css-framework, developer-tools, documentation
- domain: web-development, frontend, browser-extensions, documentation
- platform: browser
- tags: css-hacks, browser-detection, reference-site, jekyll, cross-browser-compatibility, web-server, javascript
