+== It's time to remove the prefixes. ==
+Please remove the prefixes (and the extra spaces); none of the prefixes are needed:
+* iCab is dead. The versions now all use Safari's engine, and the really old versions that used their own engine have SSL errors.
+* I am pretty sure Konqueror uses WebKit now.
+* Opera never needed a prefix, and Opera Mini doesn't have support for rounded corners at all.
+* Both versions of Safari and Chrome that needed the prefix have had no version cut off since then.
+* Firefox 3.6 can't seem to load Bulbapedia properly, it whites out.
+Why?
+* The data usage increase is ridiculous. Some pages have their size reduced by more than 70% by removing prefixes. Every time the template is used, 135 bytes (365 in Roundytop) of unnecessary code is used, and the template is used a lot. Even with gzipped compression (the website appears to be gzipped with no compression), these large pages take up RAM, parsing time, and cache once decompressed.
+* Bulbapedia doesn't look half bad with square corners.
+* Bulbapedia isn't even consistent with the prefixes: MediaWiki only uses -webkit and -moz prefixes (which you could also use if you were insistent on those browsers), and the homepage CSS has only the unprefixed version
+* This hasn't been updated in 8 years. Browsers have changed.
+* No modern websites use more than -moz or -webkit, and frankly, very few that I've seen use those prefixes either. Not even Google.
+* Most of the users viewing this page are tech savvy enough to keep their browser up to date.
+I mentioned this a few times on Discord a while back, yet still nothing has been done about it. [[User:Easyaspi314|Easyaspi314]] ([[User talk:Easyaspi314|talk]]) 02:29, 16 April 2018 (UTC)
