chromium v22 cannot read CSS in #hack-448c4b5ec6e62bb3c328cca118f0a80d

Testing hack http://browserhacks.com/#hack-448c4b5ec6e62bb3c328cca118f0a80d
on my raspberry's mot recent Chromium version : 22.0.1229.94 built on Debian 7.0 running on debian 7.2 (161065)
I was surprised to see that CSS ignored by chromium :

body {
    opacity: 0; /*read by chromium */
}

@media screen {
    @media (min-width: 0px) {
        body {
            opacity: 1; /*NOT read by chromium  v22*/
        }
    }
}

This hack is supposed to be for "Everything but Internet Explorer and Safari ≤6".
However, using Chromium (Version 37.0.2062.120 Ubuntu 12.04) that same CSS was actually interpreted.

I suggest you may add a warning/info about it

You are correct and it is actually not an 'everything but Safari and Internet Explorer' type of hack technically, but older versions of other browsers are not supported - the nested media query was introduced into Chrome/Chromium in version 26. Also, Firefox did not recognize it until version 11 though very few people use that old of a version of Firefox to know this. Safari 6.1+, Chrome 26+, Firefox 11+

Since MSIE did not support it (MSIE 11-) Internet Explorer is not part of that list either as mentioned, but the new MS Edge Browser, which starts where MSIE left off at version 12, does (Edge 12+) -- so add Edge 12+ to the above list for this actual set of stats:

Safari 6.1+, Chrome 26+, Firefox 11+, Edge 12+
