Is it possible to customize a website's content based on the browser by utilizing media queries?

After numerous attempts, I still can't seem to resolve the issue of my website appearing differently on Firefox and Edge browsers; the container seems to be misaligned and shifted. I have spent hours scouring the web for a solution with no luck. My ultimate goal is to adjust the website content or CSS based on the specific browser being used. You can access the full CSS and additional details on CodePen.

Here is a snippet of the HTML code:

Answer №1

To implement various CSS browser selector "tricks," you can refer to Paul Irish's Browser CSS Hacks. Below are the available selectors that can be used:

Browser Selector Hacks

/* For IE6 and below */
* html #id  { color: red }

/* For IE7 */
*:first-child+html #id { color: red }

/* For IE7, FF, Safari, Opera  */
html>body #id { color: red }

/* For IE8, FF, Safari, Opera (excluding IE 6 and 7) */
html>/**/body #id { color: red }

/* For Opera 9.27 and older versions, Safari 2 */
html:first-child #id { color: red }

/* For Safari 2-3 */
html[xmlns*=""] body:last-child #id { color: red }

/* For Safari 3+, Chrome 1+, Opera 9+, FF 3.5+ */
body:nth-of-type(1) #id { color: red }

/* For Safari 3+, Chrome 1+, Opera 9+, FF 3.5+ */
body:first-of-type #id {  color: red }

/* For Safari 3+, Chrome 1+ */
@media screen and (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio:0) {
 #id  { color: red  }
}

/* For iPhone / mobile webkit */
@media screen and (max-device-width: 480px) {
 #id { color: red  }
}

/* For Safari 2 - 3.1 */
html[xmlns*=""]:root #id  { color: red  }

/* For Safari 2 - 3.1, Opera 9.25 */
*|html[xmlns*=""] #id { color: red  }

/* For all browsers except IE6-8 */
:root *> #id { color: red  }

/* For IE7 */
*+html #id {  color: red }

/* For IE 10+ */
@media screen and (-ms-high-contrast: active), (-ms-high-contrast: none) {
   #id { color: red; }
}

/* For Firefox only, version 1+ */
#id,  x:-moz-any-link  { color: red }

/* For Firefox 3.0+ */
#id,  x:-moz-any-link, x:default  { color: red  }

/* For FF 3.5+ */
body:not(:-moz-handler-blocked) #id { color: red; }

Attribute Hacks

/* For IE6 */
#id { _color: blue }

/* For IE6, IE7 */
#id { *color: blue; /* or #color: blue */ }

/* For all browsers except IE6 */
#id { color/**/: blue }

/* For IE6, IE7, IE8, occasionally IE9 */
#id { color: blue\9; }

/* For IE7, IE8 */
#id { color/*\**/: blue\9; }

/* For IE6, IE7 -- treated as an !important */
#id { color: blue !ie; } /* text after ! can be anything */

/* For IE8, IE9 */
#id  {color: blue\0/;} /* must come at the END of all rules */

/* For IE9, IE10 */
@media screen and (min-width:0\0) {
    #id { color: red}
}

Specifically for Firefox

/* For Firefox only, version 1+ only */
#id,  x:-moz-any-link  { color: red }

/* For Firefox 3.0+ */
#id,  x:-moz-any-link, x:default  { color: red  }

/* For FF 3.5+ */
body:not(:-moz-handler-blocked) #id { color: red; }
