Design analytics-driven browser test matrices and execute cross-browser tests. Covers BrowserStack/Sauce Labs configuration, Playwright browser channels, common cross-browser CSS/JS divergences, a known-issues documentation log, and progressive enhancement validation. Use when: "cross-browser," "browser matrix," "BrowserStack," "Safari issues," "browser compatibility," "Edge," "works in Chrome but not Safari." Not for: pixel-level baseline strategy and threshold tuning — use visual-testing…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<objective>
Chrome-only testing gives false confidence: a layout that works in Chromium can break in WebKit, a clipboard call that succeeds in Chrome silently no-ops in Firefox, and a partitioned-cookie flow can pass everywhere except the one engine your users are on. This skill produces an analytics-driven browser matrix, a Playwright (or cloud-platform) config that runs it, and a committed log of known browser divergences — each verified by a test that asserts the user outcome, not the CSS.
</objective>

## Quick Route

| Situation | Go to |
|-----------|-------|
| Need to decide *which* browsers to test | Browser Matrix Design |
| Already on Playwright, just add browsers | Playwright Browser Configuration → `references/playwright-and-cloud-config.md` |
| Need real Safari/Windows/older OS, not engines | Cloud Platform Setup |
| One browser misbehaves; want a test for it | Common Cross-Browser Issues + `browserName` branch in `references/testing-patterns.md` |
| Need to record a divergence so it is not re-debugged | Known-Issues Log |
| Pixel diffs / baseline thresholds | use `visual-testing` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add petrkindlmann/qa-skills/cross-browser-testing@sha256:fc26ccd876434fc1

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
