I recommended caniuse.com over MDN *in this case* because both MDN and 
caniuse.com are community-supported projects, but the focus of caniuse.com 
is documenting compatibility while MDN provides documentation in general.

Now I can also see that caniuse.com features a last-modified date on the top 
of the site, and you can see that it was last modified on 2021-02-27, while 
the MDN page that you referred to was last modified on 2021-02-19.
