Back when I had fewer machines and screens, I used to set Opera to show
the exact window dimensions in its title-line, adjust window size on it
to various "often used" sizes, and overlay the other browsers on that
window for comparison. A bit clumsy but it worked rather well.

So many individual browser settings that can cause such deviations, and
one has to know and test them all if one wants to make sure one isn't
fooled by ones own tools.

Also so many ways to position elements in relation to each other, that
it is easy to create situations where deviations are unavoidable.
