+## <a name="browser-support">Browser Support</a>
 
-In order to take full advantage of quaggaJS, the browser needs to support the
-`getUserMedia` API which is already implemented in recent versions of Firefox,
-Chrome, IE (Edge) and Opera. The API is also available on their mobile
-counterparts installed on Android (except IE). Safari does not allow the access
-to the camera yet, neither on desktop, nor on mobile. You can check
-[caniuse][caniuse_getusermedia] for updates.
+Quagga makes use of many modern Web-APIs which are not implemented by all
+browsers yet. There are two modes in which Quagga operates: 1. analyzing static
+images and 2. using a camera to decode the images from a live-stream. The latter
+requires the presence of the MediaDevices API. You can track the compatibility
+of the used Web-APIs for each mode:
 
-In cases where real-time decoding is not needed, or the platform does not
-support `getUserMedia` QuaggaJS is also capable of decoding image-files using
-the File API or other URL sources.
