Generally browser vendors will use their prefixes until a specification reaches *at least* Last Call status. CSS Images Level 3, the specification gradients are a part of, isn't quite there yet. As the specification matures, the prefixes will be dropped and you'll be able to use "linear-gradient". Vendor prefixes are being used to warn developers that the syntax of the property may be changed, meaning websites that rely on them might break. Kind regards, Peter Beverloo
