Why does Firefox get more errors than Chrome? (lemmy.ml)

Is there a reason why? Less funding? Web devs don't make the pages Firefox friendly? Since the user base is smaller, they just don't care?

Hmm, do you mean in the web console?

I know Firefox has a bit of a reputation for being rather precise in how it handles web standards compliance. So, it'll show comparatively many warnings and errors, if you don't keep to the web standards.

This is actually quite useful for web devs, because it means, if Firefox is happy with your implementation, then it's relatively likely to run correctly on all browsers.

Yeah, if that's what OP means (though that's unclear), I'm not sure why OP thinks it's a bad thing. It's a good thing.

Or maybe OP means Firefox crashes more or something. In which case I can only say that hasn't been my experience.

My experience has been, however, that Firefox is quite usable on a Raspberry Pi 4 while Chromium is far too resource hungry to be usable on that platform.
