Browsers and Bugs 01/2015

There are probably more browser bugs than real bugs so I thought why not collect them and give a shout-out to the best ones crossing my way. So, this marks the beginning of a weekly roundup of my favorite browser bugs, best workarounds and other browser bugs related issues. Enjoy! As an extra, I will share tips/features/improvements for testing at the end.
