and of course Chrome & Chromium as the same.

There are 12 errors in the HTML, at least one of which involves a stylesheet so it's possible that some browsers don't read that stylesheet at all, and 128 errors in the CSS itself. For those interested, these can be checked at http://validator.w3.org/ and https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

While it's not unusual for pages to contain a lot of errors against the standards and still work in practice on most browsers, it shouldn't be surprising that they might behave differently in some browsers.

That's not to say handling of erroneous pages couldn't or shouldn't be improved - just that it's possibly the reason for the difference. From Barry's responses it looks like the current development version has improved handling of this case.

Mark.
