So TL:DR, chrome is like internet explorer was before firefox. It does some things outside the standard, and because it’s the modern day “default”. sites sloppily code to work with it, and other browsers are left carrying the bag because if tiktok doesn’t work on firefox, people will view that as a firefox problem. Even if firefox is the one actually following the standards when tiktok and chrome aren’t.
Same issue with AMD’s drivers sometimes. Not to say that their drivers are perfect but as a graphics engineer, I’ve had stuff my colleagues wrote and tested on Nvidia work fine but break on AMD because AMD was implementing the OpenGL spec exactly but Nvidia decided to be “lenient” and add hacks that make incomplete code work.
Could also be that nvidia adds fixes in the drivers for specific games, and then other games ended up with the same bugs later, or they add fixes during the development process when they provide “free QA”…
Nah I meant when we’re writing rendering code on our own. Those fixes in the drivers are custom made for those games only and aren’t applied in any other application, especially anything you write yourself.
Chrome? This maybe reflects state from about 5-7 years ago. But nowadays it’s waaaay behind firefox.

Thanks you saved me a click.
Google has been doing this with all kinds of (web) standards, and the industry has always obeyed. Fuck’em all.

deeeep tech analysis from lemmings as usual
actually no. IE dominated because MS owned the desktop and still do. IE was fucking awful and did not care about standards
chrome dominated because it was fucking great. chrome now defines standards because the other browsers lag behind and standards themselves lag behind
if anything safari is the new IE in apples fucking awful walled garden

It’s basically ms edge now
