It’s a collection of superfast tests, or “detects” as we like to call them, which run as your web page loads, then you can use the results to tailor the experience to the user. All web developers come up against differences between browsers and devices. That’s largely due to different feature sets, the latest versions of the popular browsers can do some awesome things which older browsers can’t, but we still have to support the older ones. Modernizr makes it easy to deliver tiered experiences and make use of the latest and greatest features in browsers that support them, without leaving less fortunate users high and dry. Modernizr is a small piece of JavaScript code that automatically detects the availability of next-generation web technologies in your user's browsers.
