Description

What type of issue is this?

Incorrect support data (example: BrowserX says "86" but support was added in "40")

What information was incorrect, unhelpful, or incomplete?

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/resize#browser_compatibility

What browsers does this problem apply to, if applicable?

Safari

What did you expect to see?

The compatibility table indicates that the CSS resize property is fully supported by iOS Safari 16. However, caniuse disagrees, indicating that versions 3.2 - 17.5 of the browser do not support that CSS property: https://caniuse.com/css-resize

Did you test this? If so, how?

Yes, in iOS Safari, which does not respect the CSS resize property, and does not appear the support resizing <textarea> elements, for example, at all.

Can you link to any release notes, bugs, pull requests, or MDN pages related to this?
