Supported browsers
In general we support the 2 latest versions of major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari and Opera. We support desktop, phone, tablet and the web view version of these respective browsers.
Beyond that, the core AMP library and builtin elements should aim for very wide browser support and we accept fixes for all browsers with market share greater than 1 percent.
In particular, we try to maintain "it might not be perfect but isn't broken" - support for the Android 4.0 system browser and Chrome 28+ on phones.
Notes
amp-mustache
Since ampstart uses the Mustache language to build files, it can conflict with the amp-mustache template. To fix this, use <% instead of {{:
<template type="amp-mustache">
<%title%>
<amp-img src="<%imageUrl%>" width="50" height="50"></amp-img>
</template>
