Hi @onset, thank you for starting this PR. Do you have any more information about this new support (I couldn't find any details about it on own)? It maybe possible to update Android or WebView data, while we're at it.

Hi @ddbeck, I've had trouble finding any support information in release notes of browsers so I've made a small pen to test the aspect-ratio, min-aspect-ratio and max-aspect-ratio. https://codepen.io/Onset/full/dKNgmG/

I'm happy to know now that aspect ratio is supported in all latest browsers.

Details

Google Chrome 67

Safari 9.1

MS Edge 17

IE 11

Firefox 60

Opera 53

Samsung Internet 6.4

UC Browser

Google Chrome 51 inside Facebook Messenger

afaik it's "always" been supported in chrome: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/64c713c8f749364f758d3fcc5648fe12686425fd

i can't see that this was even disabled by default.

fwiw. here's one way to try tracking down this info for chrome, if chromestatus.com doesn't have the answer..

1. open https://cs.chromium.org/
2. try searching for a useful string like max-aspect-ratio
3. choose a useful file. we'll go with the top one: mq-aspect-ratio.html
4. in the top right open View > Git revision Log. (Sometimes Git Blame is slightly more useful)
   

This hopefully should reveal some commits which point to where a feature was added or flipped on.

@paulirish Valuable tool! Thank you for the links and step by step guide.

I'm not sure which version to attribute though.

either Chrome 4 or Chrome 5.

Now I see the version is not required and "version_added": true works just fine. But still, thank you.

Thank you for the update, @onset and thank you, @paulirish, for the lesson in searching Chrome's history!
