Interesting, I have not come across any broken websites in a while. Or well, there was a booking website recently where I switched to Chrome to have my booking go through. But it would need to be a lot of those instances before I would even consider switching to Chrome. You have any (anecdotal) stats on how many websites are broken? What kind of sites are those?
- barbazoo 3y agoSame, it's mostly Google sites that work better with Chrome, like the GCP console.
- rozap 3y agoGoogle meet works fine on firefox. The GCP console is an affront to the web on any browser, though.
- barbazoo 3y agoGoogle Meet doesn't support visual effects in Firefox, e.g. background blurring
- tiltowait 3y agoI know this at least used to be the case, but is it still? Using Safari, it seems like the GCP console has gotten far better in recent weeks, to the point that I no longer feel the need to reach for a Chromium browser.
- barbazoo 3y agoI spend a lot of time in the GCP log explorer and the UI is very "jumpy" in Firefox. Much better in Chrome.
- seti0Cha 3y agoI'm not a heavy Firefox user, but I've seen it as well. I don't remember the specifics, but on a couple of occasions a site would fail to function properly, I'd pop the developer tools open and see a Javascript error, usually about a null object. I'm assuming some sites are relying on Chrome-specific extensions because they don't see enough Firefox traffic to care. I haven't really seen much in the way of broken layout though, which is a big difference from the old "only tested in IE" days.
