Confused on whether we still have to use all the annoying -webkit stuff. If not can someone show me an example on how to do it well?

I can't recommend "Grunt" enough for helping out with prefixes. Grunt is something you might want to look into as you can have it run Autoprefixer on your CSS. If not now, later when you want to level up.

5,394 PointsAhh I see so its available on all major browsers excluding safari. So how would I use it if one day safari approves flex boxes? Would I just not use the -webkit? Sorry, but I'm not sure on how this all works.
