Compatibility

Is lichess tested on different browsers? For some time the forum posting buttons didn't show up on my new computer. Now they work. But now when I go to view a game, none of the pieces show up. Does anyone else get all these sorts of bugs or is it just me?
Lichess doesn't extensively test on all browsers. It's recommended that you use the latest version of Chrome or Firefox. Supporting all browsers in an industrial format is not part of lichess' goals.

Safari, for example has some intrinsic flaws that we do not have the time to fix. In the words of the great creator, lichess is a hobby, not a professional company where universal backwards compatibility is to be expected.
It is as Clarkey said. Beyond that, lichess is often finds itself on the cutting edge of web technology.

As for those bugs, there may be add-ons or extensions interfering with the site.

It could also be that the website was recently updated, or it was downloaded incorrectly. It helps to press Ctrl+F5 (which performs a 'hard refresh' that clears the cache for that page) when these bugs appear to solve issues that might arise from the browser cache.
