## Extra considerations

Baseline is a summary guide to support and doesn't cover every situation.
If your site needs to work with an older device or browser release, or a browser not covered by the Baseline status, then you may need to do your own research or testing.
If Baseline doesn't cover your situation, then consider reading browser compatibility tables on MDN or visiting [caniuse.com](https://caniuse.com/) before committing to a feature.
Baseline is a summary guide to browser support, to help you make decisions before committing to a feature.
But it's not a substitute for testing your application for accessibility, usability, performance, and other considerations.

Baseline may not tell you whether a feature works with:

- Older devices and browser releases
- Browsers not covered by the Baseline browser set, such as operating system web views
- Assistive technology, such as screen readers

If Baseline doesn't cover your situation, then consider reading browser compatibility tables on MDN and visiting [caniuse.com](https://caniuse.com/) and [a11ysupport.io](https://a11ysupport.io/).
