> I still find some pages don't work 100% correctly in Firefox.

find that hard to believe. but even if you find something using an api not implement by firefox, chances are you definitely do not want that feature anyway, the firefox gave in to really awful stuff and only drew the line on obviously egregious privacy violation ones.

I definitely run into pages broken in firefox desktop or especially firefox mobile. Extra especially on proofs of concept advertised here on HN.

Yes, it is a thing. I open ms edge every time i want to view logs in our spring boot admin. Same one for one of the jira ticket workflows. Might find the time to look into it someday...

It's rare. But it does happen. Razer had this problem until recently. Looks like they fixed it because I just checked and it seems fine now.

Sometimes devs rely on Chrome specific quirks, or are shipping broken apps that Chrome manages to make the correct guesses for it to be functional.

Many see 'it works on Chrome and mobile Safari' as 'it works' and they can get project signoff / ship / get paid / whatever and don't care about other users

The company that has the application may not know until a few users complain (if they complain) and by that point it could be too late due to the contract, or they may not understand what a different browser is or care either.
