<feDropShadow>
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since July 2015.
The <feDropShadow>
SVG filter primitive creates a drop shadow of the input image. It can only be used inside a <filter>
element.
Note: The drop shadow color and opacity can be changed by using the flood-color
and flood-opacity
presentation attributes.

</filter>
