Is flexbox browser dependant!

So I have watched this introductory video of flexbox, it seems cool. But the instructor asked to give display: -webkit-flex; and it works with chrome? Is not that standard to all the browsers?

Hi..

I've done quite a lot with flexbox and it is a great tool, browser support is improving rapidly which is great because this will make responsive design incredibly easy.

However .... for now it would be a good idea to prefix your code for all browsers to be on the safe side of life but you can use an auto prefixer this saves the trouble of repetitive coding :)

here is a cool link on flexbox
