So nowadays, creating js & css that works the same across different browsers is less of an issue as to what it was a few years back.
So let's say I have this Vue app that -

  • Has CSS reset
  • Include @babel/polyfil
  • Doesn't care if it works on Internet Explorer or not
  • Not using any special CSS properties

Edit -

  • Has browserlist that makes sure I'm not using any css/js that is not supported by a browser that I expect my users to have

Edit 2 -

  • I don't care about mobile, users with mobile gets moved to a designated mobile page that disables any further use of the app

Is it really necessary to go over the app on different browsers to check it out?

Yes, it is still necessary to check your application on different browsers. Even though the web is more standardized now than it was in the past, there are still differences between different browsers. For example, some browsers may interpret the same CSS differently, or one browser may have a bug that renders a page differently than the others. Additionally, certain CSS properties may not be supported in certain browsers, so it is still important to test your application in multiple browsers.

It's not or yes it is, it all depends what you are developing and who your target is. You should look at this from a cost/benefit perspective. For example if 0,005% of your customers uses Internet explorer or safari or whatever, its not worth spending too much time on making sure things are 100% the same in all browsers - it also occupies time that might be used to develop new functionality that you could have put into the market earlier.

So I would say, instead of looking at this from technical point of view, look at this from a business point of view and make sure the extra time you spend on this will generate an extra income and not only do it because "everything has to be perfect"
