web should be able to be viewed in any browser and get the same document.
If there are sites that work on Chrome but not Firefox, it just seems to me that either:
- Chrome or Firefox must be breaking web standards
- Web standards must be unspecified for that use case
I have no idea the fix though, the web is so massively complex now, that I don't even know what specifying standards for every use case would involve.
Chrome/Blink has exclusive APIs, that often are not on track to be a standard.
This makes Safari (Webkit) and Firefox (Gecko) look bad, because they end up having to implement the same APIs, and then, maybe, it's standardized. Browser extension APIs come to mind.
I wish the situation was more neat and tidy, but it's not.
