I've used Firefox as my primary browser basically forever it seems like. I never really liked Chrome. But Firefox still has some annoying rendering issues. For some reason text which should be aligned vertically center will look fine in Chrome but be slightly offset in Firefox (Windows). Or colors appear as they should in Chrome but not in Firefox (MacOS). Just little things that get under my skin.
- FractalHQ 5y agoAs a web developer and designer, rendering inconsistencies like this cost me hours every month. I dream of world with a single standard rendering library that all browsers share. The current system seems ridiculous- multiple parties implementing their own engine, aligned by a single spec, with the ultimate goal of rendering the same content identical to one another- is silly, wasteful, and bound to result in a shitshow. I don’t get it.
- emptyparadise 5y agoIt wouldn't be so bad if that single spec wasn't whatever Google wants to be. Even if we give up and adopt Chromium as the One True Engine, it should be taken away from Google and maintained by some kind of an independent foundation.
