I actually encountered the opposite. A site I've been using for roughly 7 years actually has massive issues on chrome that makes it unusable.

On Firefox? No problem at all.

Which site? Just curious. I've never encountered any issues whatsoever with either browser.

Chatzy. However the site is intensely archaic to begin with.

There's a lot of unique chrome exclusive bugs. Like the fact that opening the command menu or replying to hidden messages, deletes your chat windows contents.

Or the fact that the chat would just suddenly freeze up entirely. GUI elements deciding to randomly not display anymore. Bold messages sometimes breaking formatting. hangups that require a forced reload. Etc.

Decades old Firefox user here.

In the last week or two both Discord as well as Google Maps started not to work, they basically freeze up during/after they load, almost freezing up the whole browser as well (struggle to close the tabs they are on).

The weird thing is they both always used to work great up to just very recently, and nothing else has changed on my desktop, except for the normal OS updates semi daily.

(Speaking of the desktop version, on Fedora Linux.)
