opencore user. my google docs keeps glitching - google-docs

I have the OpenCore Legacy Patcher on my 2010 MacBook Pro, and it's running great with all the patches applied. Google Docs and Sheets (maybe Slides too idk) are not working properly in chrome and microsoft edge. There are many issues, but sometimes I can't see what I typed for example. as such it has made using the google docs offline feature problematic. how do i resolve this?
i tried using user agent switcher in firefox but it didn't work. i am mainly interested in using google docs offline feature. i can use it online with firefox and safari but i do not always have access to internet and this has become a challenge.
this the google docs tab before i start typing.
this is the tab when i start typing.
sometimes everything this appears except what I'm typing

How else can I review the responsiveness of a local hosted app without using dev tools?

I'm working on an app on my machine and run it on local host. Sometimes browsers dev tools are not accurate and once I am making the changes in my code and then run, it doesn't look like how it was in dev tools. I'm talking about some alignment, responsiveness, not about styling, colors etc.
When I am comparing my app in different browsers it doesn't look the same in all of them, so I'm no sure which one is actually the accurate view.
I have tried Edge, Opera, Mozilla, Chrome. My company is monitoring my pc, so I can't install random stuff on it.
Is there any other option to preview accurately my app? Any extension or some site?
Thanks in advance.
You can always use other browsers like Opera which has developer mode, as well as, Microsoft Edge and Safari that offer web development tools. As for the alternatives for Firefox, I believe it was already answered, check this: What are the alternatives to the Firefox Developer Tools?
Moreover, these might not directly solve your problem but if you are looking for plugins or apps, check these useful tools out: Plunker, Percy, Ghost Inspector, Requestly.

Azure pricing calculator not updating estimates

I am trying to price out various azure services and when I add them to the calculator and make changes the estimate does not update.
I have tried this in Edge, IE, Chrome, Firefox (normal browsing and Private) and I get the same results.
I also ran CCleaner and removed all of the files for each browser.
The calculator did work a few days ago.
Any ideas?
I had the same problem. A solution that works for me is to open a new InPrivate window from the Edge browser. (A new private window from Firefox did not solve the problem).
Perhaps the problem is related to cookies? I have not tested after deleting all cookies. #jake, when you used CCleaner, was it set to delete cookies or just cached data and files?
(For what it is worth, in the Firefox developer console I see several warnings related to failed loading of JS scripts. I can't say if such a failure is the cause of the problem, but it looks like Microsoft needs to do better testing of the calculator page.)

Why should I be concerned with supporting really outdated browsers?

It seems every resource regarding things like CSS3 and HTML5 nag me about particular things not being implemented in older browsers, and hacky workarounds. Really who uses IE 9 or 10 anymore anyway? IE11 is out, Edge is default on W10, and I assume most / all people use it. To me it seems to make the most sense to simply make the page render properly on the latest Chrome (what I use), Firefox, Edge, and Safari..
Ughhh apple. My understanding is that the Windows version of Safari is very outdated and trying to get a (questionably obtained) image of macOS working in a VM has been unsuccessful. I'm not spending a dime for any Apple products just to test my site on their browser. So what can I do in order to test how my site will work in it?
Regarding your question...
Who uses IE 9 or 10 anymore anyway?
Typically, people with older Windows systems. This is important for your website based on whether or not IE 9/10 users will be accessing the website that is being supported. (A review of your website's web logs can shed light on this.) If your website is an internal intranet site, then an organization's IT department may dictate the browsers that users can use. However, large eCommerce websites will often support older browsers out of fear of losing customers to rivals.
Regarding your second question...
How do I go about ensuring the site is functional and looks reasonably
good on apple products conveniently, without any apple products while
on a minimal budget?
Without actual Apple products, something that emulates these displays is needed. One option is the "Inspect" option with the Chrome browser. (Display your website on Chrome, right-click, select "Inspect".) Inspect allows you to choose between a Desktop or Mobile display. With a Mobile display, you also have the option of selecting several Apple displays (e.g. iPhone, iPad, etc.). This is probably the next best thing to having the actual Apple device and its display for website testing.

What are the differences between Google Chrome extensions and Firefox add-ons?

I have been developing Chrome extensions and as I have already mentioned in a question on SO, I have problems paying that starting charge witch Google asks. So I quit wasting my time developing extensions for a company that has no respect for developers and I'm starting to develop Firefox add-ons. So I'm a total newbie in this area.
First of all I have to mention that I am NOT looking for an automatic functionality/way to convert them. I have noticed that one difference between Firefox add-ons and Chrome extensions is that there is not such a thing as popup.html in Firefox (maybe I'm wrong).
How can I find other main differences so that I can convert my extensions to Firefox add-on?
Firefox addons do have a popup paneil in their SDK available to use(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/developers/docs/sdk/latest/modules/sdk/panel.html).
I'm developing a Firefox addon right now and I can tell you that their actual SDK and the develop environments are great, cfx to work offline or the online builder, both are powerful and easy.
Regarding the differences that you ask, besides a few structure differences and of course Chrome or Firefox specific code that is not going to work in the other platform, I think that it should be easy port an addon from one platform to another, no automatic but pretty straightforward.

Sharepoint - Accessing PDF links via Chrome

Firstly let me state that I have zero experience with Sharepoint so this may be a pretty stupid question.
I started a new job yesterday and part of the induction is viewing the company literature via their Sharepoint portal. I've noticed that whenever I try to access an embedded PDF link via Chrome it seems like it's a broken link and appears to do a Google search instead. Yet when I try the exact same steps using IE all works as expected.
I don't want to raise this with my boss if it's going to make me look a little stupid! Is there some cross browser issue with PDF links?
Thanks.
Darren, try flushing the cache in Chrome, and if necessary, log off and log back into your computer. We've had the same problem with Chrome and Google doesn't seem to be fixing the problem (although they might point the finger back at Microsoft).
Yes I have the same issue with Chrome and Firefox
Sharepoint is optimized for IE and vice versa
You also can't open Files with the "Check in and Check out" functionality because only IE is able to do that from Sharepoint (Other Browsers will just Download the File)
You can try using AddOns like IE-Tab
(simply uses the IE algorithms within FF and Chrome for specific Sites)
But its better to use Sharepoint with IE
