With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

have you tried it recently?

I was of the same opinion for a long time, used to dev in chrome, now I use exclusively firefox, I think it's better or at least, there is nothing I miss from chrome.

I use it all the time to debug fun special behavior of Firefox.

what special behavior? I only had issues with Safari lately (with IE dead)

The vertical alignment in flexboxes behaves slightly different in Chrome than Firefox. In Chrome, everything is neatly baseline aligned, and in Firefox it's all over the place. Another thing I recently had was that Firefox just refused to load the custom fonts for some weird reason. That one went away by itself after a while.

do you mean like a flex-row and without using align-items: center?

because with center it works fine. same with flex-col and justify-content: center.

It might just be a default that's different between the two browsers, and I haven't set anything. This has been so low on my priority list that I never actually looked into it.
