I've had to debug a PDF viewer on a site once. Getting that to work across multiple versions of multiple browsers was a nightmare and I never managed to figure it out. Latest versions are mostly fine (except for mobile safari), but even 1yo versions of browsers are just broken.

Maybe I'm missing something, but it got bad enough that one of the "potential solutions" I was considering involved figuring out how to compile a C based pdf renderer thingy into WASM and embedding it in the app.

This was about 7 months ago.

I agree though, add to cart should NOT behave differently across browsers in 2024.
