1. I haven't found Firefox to be "dog slow". I may not be doing things that stress it, but overall, speed is not something I have had complaints about. 2. Ummm

2. Ummm...don't you have to test against non-WebKit browsers, anyway? Or, do you really expect all of your users to only use WebKit based browsers? That seems problematic.

Testing in Chrome on OS X takes care about Chrome, Windows, Safari, Android, iOS (even though the iOS Webkit has some quirks) and Firefox. Compatibility between browsers in rendering is not an issue these days any more, the only notorious exception being Internet Explorer, but even there the margin is getting smaller and smaller. I usually develop and full-test in Chrome first, and do a quick "does everything look and behave correctly in other browsers" at the end, so far I have not encountered any major differences between the platforms.
- Sylos 10y agoThen what's different about this to only developing in Firefox and afterwards testing in the other browser?
- mschuster91 10y agoBecause Firefox is dog slow (I hope that at least the frequent UI lockups due to synchronous scripts in the site are soon history), and cannot speak with anything webkit.
