A '''CSS Filter''' is a coding technique used to hide or show CSS markup depending on the browsersbrowser's brand and/or version number. Browsers have different interpretations of CSS behavior and different levels of support for the W3C standards. Web developers will implement CSS Filters when attempting to achieve consistent layout appearance in browsers that do not have a consistent CSS behavior.

Some of these CSS Filters make use of expected tags called Conditional Comments to denote special instructions. Other developers have exploited the rendering flaws of certain browsers when Conditional Comments were not available or were perceived to be a better solution at the time.
