How do I know if my browser supports SVG 2.0?
(Apart from trying a feature that is supposed to work in SVG2 and realizing it's not working or that it works ...?)

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) is officially supported by all main web browsers, including Internet Explorer. The support spans into a wide variety of image editor software, particularly Inkscape, which uses SVG as its native format (If you want a refresher on SVG, click here).
Chrome was the first browser to launch with native SVG support from the beginming.
The browser does not support inline SVG issue that appears because developers are trying to embed SVG elements on webpages that are not fully compatible. A similar issue appears when browsers don't support inline PDFs and has a similar cause, but it is mostly related to browser compatibility issues.
From what I understand SVG 2.0 is still a work in progress with no full browser implementation.
For the more elusive features of SVG that may not be implemented by all browser you can check CanIUse to see if the feature is supported.

Asking if a browser supports SVG 2 is like asking if a browser supports HTML5. It seems like a totally reasonable question, but it doesn't work like that.
The best we can do is test if a browser supports a feature, rather than a version of spec.
