I'll say from personal experience on two recent projects: if you're only testing in one webkit browser and not hitting the others there's a good chance that you're missing a couple of bugs. There are a ton of different ways to build webkit, Chrome and Safari were never identical enough to ignore. Fortunately, after developing in Chrome it took about as much effort to support Firefox as it did to support Safari, which is to say about half an hour.


Paul Irish has a great article outlining the technical background of this sort of inter-WebKit diversity: http://paulirish.com/2013/webkit-for-developers/
