What browsers support the "theme-color" meta tag?

According to the HTML spec , the theme-color meta tag is valid. Google has stated that Chrome for Android supports it from v39 onwards, and I believe Brave for Android, Vivaldi, and Opera (even on desktop, for those last two) also support it. Is there a comprehensive list of browser support?

theme-color is supported only by Chrome mobile browsers, version 67 (May '18) onwards, all latest samsung browsers and Vivaldi browser.

None of the other major phone browsers support this.

On desktop, only Vivaldi browser supports it : Vivaldi blog

Note: All though Chrome mobile browser supports theme-colors, they don't work on desktop apps anymore when viewing a PWA.

Beginning today, theme-color is supported in Safari 15 and above (on all Apple systems), in addition to some of the browsers above. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safari-release-notes/safari-15-beta-release-notes

Note that some browsers no longer support the tag, so be sure to check https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/meta/name/theme-color.
