Yea, Chrome is kind of notorious for random breakages compared to other 
browsers. Google seems to still be a fan of that "move fast to break 
everything" fad that (unsurprisingly) has been biting Facebook in the ass.

Honestly, I find that if my web sites exhibit browser-compatibility 
issues, it means I've over-engineered something. Even in Chrome, the 
HTML/CSS basics are pretty stable. It's only when you start getting into 
the "newer is better" bleeding edge "this week's version of webdev best 
practices" stuff, and toolkits and the like, that things start falling 
apart.
