I am a little confused by the http://caniuse.com/#search=flexbox website in that it seems to be giving conflicting information.

For example, according to that table chrome no longer needs a prefix going back as far as version 31 but you'll have to include -webkit if you intend to support safari.
I think it will help you if you check out the "resources" tab below the table. There's currently 9 listed there. In particular, the dev.opera tutorial on cross-browser support.
After going through those you should have a better idea on how to get the most support.

3,248 PointsI just noticed the difference in the caniuse.com website between when the video was made and now, and was wondering if we had to do anything different in terms of supporting the various browsers. I have been playing with the prefixes on and off in Chrome and see that we don't need -webkit now for some features. This is all really new to me and I'm worried about older browsers but I suppose if I use Modernizr there won't be a problem, right?

Treehouse Moderator 91,254 PointsI would imagine any changes between then and now would be beneficial more than anything else but I agree it's always confusing.
As I say, to play it safe, I always just use all the web prefixes i know until such a time as all web browsers out there don't need them. :-)
