CSS3 Media Query to target only Internet Explorer (from IE6 to IE11+), Firefox, Chrome, Safari and/or Edge

If you're a HTML developer you most likely know that there are times when you need to selectively apply some styles to a specific browser, or to a specific version/build of a browser. When such scenarios occur, there are a number of CSS and/or JS based techniques to achieve that result.

Here's a collection of media queries that will allow you to do that in pure CSS3 code, without a single line of JavaScript code: most of them come from the browserhacks.com web site, which is an excellent resource of browser-specific CSS and JavaScript hacks for these kind of tasks.

* html .ie6 { property: value; }

1	* html .ie6 { property: value; }
