> Personally I never had problems with Firefox breaking pages

My experience has unfortunately been different, but the issues are mostly limited to "modern" over-engineered web apps. 90% I encounter one though, checking the console reveals that it's using non-standard Chromium-specific features (whether a FF counterpart exists or not) or just has a lazy browser == "Chrome" check instead of proper feature detection.

OK, but it's not Firefox's fault if web developers don't stick to standards and use Chromium-specific features. The bad thing is, the less people using Firefox, the harder this problem becomes and Chrome defines the de-facto standards.

Of course not. That was basically my point - that while some pages are broken in FF, it's not actually their fault (although how much that matters is debatable as the end-users don't care).
