Subject: [Wikitech-l] MediaWiki will avoid serving SVG images to Opera 12
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org>


Just a quick note that I have submitted a patch <https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/190819> that will make MediaWiki avoid serving SVG images to Opera 12 (the old, Presto-based one) when a PNG fallback is available.

We support it as a Grade A browser, which means that we should do our best to provide the best possible experience. In my opinion, the best possible experience involves not giving it any SVGs.

Opera 12 has issues when rendering SVG background-images together with border-radius or background-size rules (see task <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87504> for details and examples), and both of these are becoming increasingly common in our codebase. One common complaint was the new MediaWiki UI checkboxes, where the check icon would sometimes not appear for Opera users.
