    When I asked a couple of developers who work on websites/webapps with a lot of moving parts, they said it was easiest to just test for chrome, since that’s what most people use.

    It’s turned into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

      It’s so damn stupid. If your site works meaningfully differently in Firefox vs Chromium, you’re already doing something very, very wrong.

        Yep, this is why at least for me when I develop websites I use Firefox first for development to make sure that the website runs on Firefox.

        Chromium does a lot of heavy lifting to fix problems with websites which enables certain web developers to be lazy.

          Smae thing that Nvidia does with OpenGL. Their driver handles a lot erroneous out of spec behaviour so developers think their game works fine but the moment you run it on AMD or Intel GPUs, you get all sorts of issues because they actually implement the spec accurately.
