2Both are correct in their own context, but the first implies emphasis: "Well, which browsers do support this, then?!" Context is important: what triggers this question? – Andrew Leach Feb 06 '13 at 11:10

Ok. There's not much context. I was just wondering if one of those was incorrect. I have the answer then. Thank you :) – sdabet Feb 06 '13 at 11:17

"Did shoot" vs. "shot", "Did see" vs. "saw" – RegDwigнt Feb 06 '13 at 11:28

The do form contrasts with a previous statement:
"You could use canvas, but not all browsers support it".
"Which browsers do support it?"
It's not restricted to the interrogative. It's one case of do-support.
