Wikipedia has a summary of what browsers use WebKit as their HTML rendering engine. The WebKit Project itself has even an more complete list.

If you take a look at the engines the most popular browsers use, as detailed in this question:

  • Firefox and other Mozilla browsers (IceWeasel, etc.) use Gecko.
  • Internet Explorer uses Trident.
  • Safari, Google Chrome and Konqueror use WebKit.
  • Opera 9+ uses Presto.

So no, neither Internet Explorer, nor Firefox or Opera supports the WebKit CSS styles (although of course Firefox have their own extensions which are similar).

Any browsers using WebKit should support the CSS webkit prefixed CSS styles.
