Notes

Chrome < 55 and Android 4.0 Browser support "-webkit-hyphens: none", but not the "auto" property. It is advisable to set the @lang attribute on the HTML element to enable hyphenation support and improve accessibility.

Only supported on Android & Mac platforms (and only the "auto" value) for now. See commit & related bug.
Only supported on Android & Mac platforms

^* Partial support with prefix.
