Link: HTTP header has partial support Browser Compatibility Check

Description

The Link: HTTP header with rel=stylesheet is only supported by Firefox.

Help

The Link: HTTP header was removed in the final HTTP 1.1 spec. The header reappeared as a proposal in RFC 5988 in 2010, which was then obsoleted by RFC 8288 in 2017. Opera 15.0 removed support for the header in 2013, and removal from Firefox has been requested in Mozilla bug 748294. Chrome 103 has support for Link: but only with rel=preload, rel=preconnect and rel=modulepreload.
