keep-all: for Chinese, Japanese and Korean text words are not broken. Otherwise this is the same as normal.

Our website has those 3 languages (with English and French). We had complains from our Japanese and Chinese friends regarding using keep-all. Korean feedback is that it is better with keep-all.

So my advise would be to use it for korean only. I implement it using the :lang pseudo-class (it requires a correct lang attribute of the htmltag).

:lang(ko) {
    word-break: keep-all;
}

… any thoughts to add in 2021?

tl;dr in 2014 I suggested inserting a <wbr> or zero-width space (which can break when copied and pasted into browser)

you have not typed
-webkit-hyphens: auto;
instead you typed
webkit-hyphens:auto;

that’s where your error is. if you make an error in css all the following styles are disregarded

Instead of just having every word at the end of the line break, regardless of length?

For Firefox to support automatic hyphenation the word-break behavior must be set to normal.
word-break: normal

Hyphenation is not supported in Chrome. You can break words in Chrome, without breaking Firefox by using the Chrome-specific notation word-break: break-word.

Check out this codepen in both Firefox and Chrome
