Seeing the calls to switch to Safari or Firefox from Chrome (hey, have I told you about Odysseus?) I want to say once again that we should be developing new browser engines to fight the collapse in browser divirsity! We need the web to simplify!
Who's interested? I've developed a CSS engine to help you: https://git.nzoss.org.nz/alcinnz/stylish-haskell
And I've just gotten around to blogging about it: https://odysseus.adrian.geek.nz/misc/2019/06/24/my-css-engine.html

For any concerned webdevs my advice is: 1. Most importantly: Test in multiple browsers 2. Avoid JavaScript, there's too much bloat there for new browser engines to afford. If you must use JS discuss how new web standards can help you move away from it 3. Use progressive enhancement/graceful degradation, this will help new browsers get started quickly 4. Don't worry about your pages looking the same everywhere, only care that they look good everywhere 5. Related to (2), try out Intercooler.js
