Starting today, you will start noticing badges on feature tables that map to Web Features. These badges match those seen on MDN Web Docs and offer a quick at-a-glance view of feature support based on the Baseline definition. To learn more about the badges on Can I use and what they mean see this web.dev announcement. If you'd like to learn more about Baseline see this explanation from the WebDX community group. Note that the badges are intended as a helpful way to see if support meets a certain defined threshold, the full support table should always be consulted to learn details about a feature's support.

Since the launch of Google Analytics 4 the original importer no longer worked. Now a new import system is available to include browser usage data from your Google Analytics 4 account. This importer no longer requires direct account access though it does depend on a one-time process of setting up an Exploration to export browser usage data. To start importing visit the usage import page. For any problems with the importer you can file an issue on Github. Happy importing!
