I can't help but have a sinking feeling that this as a result of the wider trend of using only Chromium-based browsers. If they were the ones affected by this issue, I feel like it would get solved almost immediately.

I use chrome and Reddit is incredibly buggy quite often. Normally old.reddit.com works, but it is shocking how badly made such a big site is.

  It’s so bad half the time I think they have to be trolling their own users.

Seems a bit of a dramatic take. I think Firefox has a few engineers on staff.

  I think GP's point was Reddit breaking Chrome would cause a big uproar and result in the issue being fixed quickly, not that Chrome has more engineers.

    Seems like it was fixed pretty quickly?

I was seeing problems in Chrome a couple hours ago. In the fancy editor it was taking seconds to echo, and the cursor would jump to the start of the text, and placeholder text was not being replaced with typed text. The older editor where you have to manually enter markdown worked fine. I assumed they had done something that botched the JavaScript of the site. Maybe some update went badly today, and it manifests differently in Firefox and Chrome? Anyway, whatever it was either they didn’t test well in Chrome either, or they don’t use the fancy editor themselves.

  > Switching to the old manual markdown mode was fine. Good to know. This new editor doesn't work at all for me in Firefox, just a frustrating chaos of random bugs.

    Concur - pasting copied text is a random nightmare. The markdown editor works fine but the 'help' menu has disappeared. So it goes.

It was fixed within an hour or so. I didn't even realize, surfing on reddit and it was working. I was just mindlessly surfing like I normally do and then it clicked, "oh cool, Reddit is back up".
