947861 - Add a css prefixer to all makes to improve browser compatibility

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

Description

[William Duyck [:fuzzyfox]]

Add a css prefixer to all makes to improve browser compatibility without learners needing to learn all about vendor prefixes to get started making.

My recommendation would be prefixfree.js <http://leaverou.github.io/prefixfree/>, and adding it to makes with an optional meta tag to disable it when trying to teach vendor prefixes.

If not valid for automation this should maybe become a bug for Editorial and be something we add to starter makes that are more likely to need vendor prefixes.

We probably want to instead teach that CSS has prefixing rather than automagically introducing "it just works", which will not be true if they use the same code copy-pasted to a real .html file that they upload somewhere else. Filing a new bug to create these starter makes.
