Update Browserslist DB

Browserslist logo by Anton Popov

CLI tool to update caniuse-lite with browsers DB from Browserslist config.

Some queries like last 2 versions or >1% depend on actual data from caniuse-lite.

npx update-browserslist-db@latest

Why you need to call it regularly

npx update-browserslist-db@latest updates caniuse-lite version in your npm, yarn, or pnpm lock file.

This update will bring data about new browsers to polyfill tools like Autoprefixer or Babel and reduce already unnecessary polyfills.

You need to do it regularly for three reasons:

  1. To use the latest browser’s versions and statistics in queries like last 2 versions or >1%. For example, if you created your project 2 years ago and did not update your dependencies, last 1 version will return 2-year-old browsers.
  2. Actual browser data will lead to using less polyfills. It will reduce size of JS and CSS files and improve website performance.
  3. caniuse-lite deduplication: to synchronize versions in different tools.
