ETA: I know the Firefox based browsers sometimes have problems rendering pages, but from what I’ve seen that’s become less of an issue over time (it used to be a pretty big problem). I’m avoiding Chrome-based browsers wherever possible because of how the extension ecosystem has been wrecked by Google.
