May I know which browser and OS you're using please?

A bit off-topic, but does the OS matter? Don't all browsers render the same between OSes? Although I can see them being different in things like font rendering...

It can matter, depending on what responsibilities the particular browser offloads to the OS. I just like to ask, so we can diagnose issues fully :)

True true, I was just idly wondering how many OS-dependent bugs people had seen, as a rough proportion.

Firefox on iOS and Firefox on Android are completely different beasts, OS definitely matters when Apple forces you to use their layout engine.

Canvas fingerprinting wouldn't be as effective if it did
