Webpages have NEVER been like print. Pixel-perfect layout has always been nonsense, although it took web designers loooong to understand that. Actually until mobile, and even then they tried to ignore it with separate websites for mobile.
It's not only browsers, screens and devices. It's also users where you never know which zoom level a user has active because he isn't a 20-something with laser sight anymore. Or which minimum font size he has configured so that shit stays legible for him.

How to vertically center in css..
Found something true as 1 == 1
You seriously telling me that I can hand the same fucking html/css whatever to different browsers and they'll render it differently? I have fucking safari and firefox look the same/as expected but fucking chrome looks different.
What the fuck, why can't we have a single standard and have it be followed. I assume some super smart fuckers getting paid mad dosh are responsible for getting this shit done and wrangling all us retards running around flinging shit around doing any sort of web work. Related : https://xkcd.com/927/ but I am no less angry and butthurt. Fuck css. I'm still fucking boggled, why the fuck can I hand over the same fucking input and some special fucking snowflake decides to process it differently I'd like to think they should output the same fucking shit.
Plot twist: maybe chrome's rendering it properly but firefox and safari are both misrendering it the same way?
And I can't wait for QA to get back to me on how it looks on fucking IE and edge when I get sick of this shit and if I ever finish.
