Browser Compatibility

The Liquid Glass SVG effect relies on backdrop-filter: url(#filter) — a feature currently only supported in Chromium-based browsers (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave, etc.). Detection uses both CSS.supports('backdrop-filter', 'url(#x)') and a Chrome user-agent check.

Platform Support

The limitation is browser-engine based, not OS based. Any Chromium browser on any platform (Windows, macOS, Linux) will render the full effect.

Fallback Behaviour

In unsupported browsers, <Liqvued> automatically detects the lack of support and applies a glassmorphism blur fallback:

backdrop-filter: blur(12px)
border: 1px solid rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.15)
box-shadow: 0 8px 32px 0 rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2)

The SVG filter generation (displacement map) is skipped entirely in unsupported browsers, so no unnecessary CPU/GPU work is performed.
