Can you provide examples of "weird behaviour"?

Im also a Safari user, and in the majority of cases the reason it is not supported is because the page/app uses some custom Chrome-only, non-standard feature. Like this one.

Sure. This one https://s.codepen.io/joshhunt/debug/ZKyYNz. It differs to IE, Safari and Chrome in the way it treats height:0 padding-top: 100% on a flex child. In Safari, the grey box expands properly to contain all divs. In Firefox, it doesn't.

Granted, this is more of a flexbox spec issue (last time I checked this behaviour is intentionally undefined), but it's still an annoying case of one browser doing something all the others don't.

Widevine is not a "Chrome-only" feature. Firefox, Edge and even Opera have Widevine support.

Is it a standard? Did it originate from Google?

"Widevine, a Google company" sounds neither standard nor very open to me: http://www.widevine.com/
