the webkit monoculture is saddening.
just yesterday i ran into chrome's 2016 img/flex-basis bug which works properly in firefox but requires an extra wrapping div as a work-around in chrome.
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=625560
what possible motivation is there to fix it when you're not competing with anyone?
hopefully microsoft can help fix it now?
also yesterday, i was writing some ui tests that use getBoundingClientRect() at different media query breakpoints. not only does chrome intermittently fail to deliver consistent results between runs (even with judicious timeouts), at different screen pixel densities its rounding errors are several pixels off and accumulate to bork all tests in a major way. on the other hand, firefox behaves deterministically across test runs and there's a single pixel (non-accumulating) error in one of several hundred tests.
somehow, i made it through the dark ages of IE6 without permanent hair loss, but i dont have fond memories of those years in my career.
now manifest v3 is starting to roll out in Chrome 80. once uBlock Origin stops working, i will use chrome even less (i try only to use it for its devtools currently)
