Features & Capabilities

CompatLens is a DevTools panel for Firefox and Chrome that watches the page you're inspecting and flags cross-browser compatibility risks in its HTML and CSS as you browse.

There's no scan button and no reload step. A MutationObserver in the page reports elements as they're added, and the panel keeps finding issues for as long as it stays open, which means it also works on single-page apps, where a route change never fires a full navigation for a one-shot scan to catch.

Every finding is checked against real browser-compat-data and web-features entries: 34 curated checks covering HTML features like <dialog>, inert and popover, and CSS features like @container, @layer, :has(), anchor-name, subgrid and modern color functions. Findings are ranked Breaks or Degrades from the catalog itself, never guessed, and support that's prefixed, flagged, partial or removed is marked unverified instead of silently passing.

A Modernise tab flags legacy vendor-prefixed CSS you can safely replace, only suggesting a replacement once the modern equivalent already passes on every browser you're targeting.

Pick from three targeting presets, or a custom age window, to match your actual audience, and export the full report as Markdown: every finding with its file and line, the browsers it fails on, and its fallback, ready to hand to a coding agent or drop into a PR description.

CompatLens runs entirely inside DevTools. There's no account, no backend and no analytics. Compatibility data is compiled into the extension at build time, and the only network requests are the page's own stylesheet fetches, which you can watch yourself in the Network panel.

Is CompatLens Safe?

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

CompatLens requires very minimum permissions.

Risk impact analysis details
  • Medium Access to developer tools, typically low risk unless it's used to inspect or manipulate data improperly.
Risk likelihood
Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Firefox add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Firefox add-on reputation on Firefox Add-ons Store, the amount of time the Firefox add-on has been around, and other signals about the Firefox add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Firefox add-on.

CompatLens is recently added, and hasn't been around long enough for us to gather enough data to accurately assess its risk level.
