This is quite surprising as I have not seen this. I do get occasional dead
buttons due to all of the privacy add-ons I run, especially No-Script, but
also less intrusive ones like Privacy Badger.

I have seen a few issues with sites taking advantage of some JS functions
outside of the standard that Chrome has added and Firefox has not yet
picked up. This is the fault of Chrome playing the old IE game of making
other browsers notwork correctly on some pages. I also have to fake the UI
identifier for some sites as they reject access from FreeBSD (Chase Bank,
I'm looking at you!) or do the wrong thing.

As regards chromium, I have deleted it it and will not consider ever using
it due to it's massive data collection and its blocking privacy tools like
No-Script.
