List of CSS vendor prefixes?

Question

Besides the following list, are there other CSS vendor prefixes that are important for web development? Are my definitions correct? Should I be more specific about mobile browsers (mobile Webkit, e.g.)

-khtml- (Konqueror, really old Safari)
-moz- (Firefox)
-o- (Opera)
-ms- (Internet Explorer)
-webkit- (Safari, Chrome)

Does this list (which also contains mso-, -wap-, and -atsc-) add anything of value?

These are the ones I'm aware of:

-ms- Microsoft
mso- Microsoft Office
-moz- Mozilla Foundation (Gecko-based browsers)
-o-, -xv- Opera Software
-atsc- Advanced Television Standards Committee
-wap- The WAP Forum
-webkit- Safari, Chrome (and other WebKit-based browsers)
-khtml-, -konq- Konqueror browser
-apple- Webkit supports properties using the -apple- prefixes as well
prince- YesLogic
-ah- Antenna House
-hp- Hewlett Packard
-ro- Real Objects
-rim- Research In Motion
-tc- Tall Components

These are officially listed in the CSS 2.1 Specification, informative section 4.1.2.2.

Wow, nice list. I haven't thought of Prince in a while! I'm particularly interested in web development, so perhaps we could split the ones (like Prince) that wouldn't be viewed in a web context. In what context is `-xv-` an opera extension? I hadn't even heard of that one. – theazureshadow Mar 23 '11 at 20:47
nice list! +1 for question and answer – clairesuzy Mar 23 '11 at 22:56
When you look in the computed styles in Opera Dragonfly, `-xv-` appears to be voice related: [http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/2715/operadragonflystylevend.png](http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/2715/operadragonflystylevend.png).

XP1, what is the -icab vendor prefix used for? – Greg Feb 21 '12 at 17:13

This list seems to be coming from the [W3C's CSS 2.1 specification](http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/syndata.html#vendor-keyword-history) – renoirb Mar 20 '14 at 21:02
@Grant I looked thru the support docs and blog. Couldn't find any mention of unique vendor prefixes for iCab. – davidcondrey Sep 23 '14 at 19:17

@dcc It [probably doesn't exist](http://danielfriesen.name/blog/2011/01/05/css3-border-radius-and-vendor-prefix-fud/), actually. – grant Sep 24 '14 at 21:07
`-mso`: Meta Stack Overflow? – Universal Electricity Sep 10 '15 at 13:44
`-fso`: Found in inteljIdia? – Bapi Nov 11 '20 at 05:15

While not in the direct context of web development, JavaFX uses a vendor prefix for its use of CSS as well: -fx-.

Just a suggestion, if you're planning to just prefix add a css transition, let's suppose column-count: 3; and you want support for all major browsers, and you prefix your property with all the prefixes mentioned in answers here, then a better and more optimal way would be to use a tool that do this for you:

Input

a {
  column-count: 3;
  column-gap: 10px;
  column-fill: auto;
}

Output

a {
  -webkit-column-count: 3;
     -moz-column-count: 3;
          column-count: 3;
  -webkit-column-gap: 10px;
     -moz-column-gap: 10px;
          column-gap: 10px;
  -webkit-column-fill: auto;
     -moz-column-fill: auto;
          column-fill: auto;
}
