stylelint-no-browser-hacks

A stylelint plugin that disallow browser hacks that are irrelevant to the browsers you are targeting, using stylehacks.

Original rule: stylelint/no-browser-hacks.

Disallow browser hacks that are irrelevant to the browsers you are targeting.

h1 { _color: white; }
/**  ↑
 * Hacks like this */

If you are uncertain what "browser hacks" are, "An Introduction to Browser-Specific Hacks" explains it well.

This rule uses stylehacks to detect the hacks. Then, in the spirit of stylelint, it tells you that you've done something wrong. If instead you would like to automatically remove browser hacks, use stylehacks directly.

stylehacks is only compatible with standard CSS syntax, and does not support nested properties nor custom property sets.

Bugs and feature requests should be reported on the stylehacks issue tracker.
