It's awfulllllllllll. Doing web dev work for it is a nightmare. There are always weird issues that pop up for it that don't occur on other browsers.



Firefox is my main development browser on personal laptop (Ubuntu) and Chrome on the PC (Win10) at work.

When I develop (HTML, CSS, ES6+babel) on Chrome, then test in Firefox there are some inconsistencies that require minor fixing. The same is true the other way around: develop with Firefox, then some fixes are needed for Chrome. These fixes are usually quite easy, make sense in retrospect and make thigs work in the second browser without breaking the first one. What I find strange, after years of hacking around IE bugs, is that everything usually just works in MS Edge.


Interesting --- my experience is generally that Chrome has odd eccentricities and missing features, while Firefox Just Works.

What it boils down to is that a person perceives the browser that they develop on as being "right" and the other browsers as "wrong".
