I just noticed Safari Technology Preview is abbreviated "TP".

Can we change this to "STP"?

Hmm, well it's used in place of a version number so that could potentially mean that it's referred to as "Safari STP" in places which I think would be wrong?

I don't expect that people will read the label at the top of the column, and then think it means "Safari STP".

The S stands for Safari. STP is what people call it when they don't want to type or say Safari Technology Preview.

I'm referring to other places on the site or third party uses of the caniuse data where the browser name and version might get combined to refer to a specific build/version.

Oh that's interesting. Right. What kind of places? Do we have examples?

The browser score section is one place that comes to mind, not sure if there's others.

If someday other browser's preview builds get explicitly added they'd probably also just state "Canary" or "Nightly" under the "Chrome" and "Firefox" headers, I think it's clear enough to visitors.
