What I like: it detects your browser and only sets the needed prefixes.

What I don't like: it depends on JS.

Using LESS or SASS avoids most of the problem this article talks about it, although the generated CSS will contain every vendor prefix. I'm not sure the difference in CSS filesize is worth using this solution.

Does anyone know of a server-side solution like this? Wouldn't be hard to vary the CSS output based on user-agent. Although you'd lose some caching benefits.

I use Compass(http://compass-style.org) but that pretty much runs on SASS.

I went here to make the same remark.

Using compass you just have to type:

  +linear-gradient(color-stops(#c7def4,#d7eef4))
  +box-shadow(rgba($ycolor9,.6) 0 0 4px inset)
  +border-radius()

And it works really fine.

SASS @extend solves most of the code bloat - if you have lots of elements styled with border-radius: 5px, using @extend, the vendor prefixed code will only appear once in the compiled CSS.

I imagine that if the generated CSS is gzipped the vendor prefixes compress well, since they are quite repetitive.

Perhaps it could be done as a SASS extension. You could use different mixins depending on the user agent.
