If your website's home page is functioning properly on Safari but encountering issues on Chrome, it could be due to some compatibility or code-related issues. Here are a few possible causes and solutions to resolve the problem in Webflow:

Browser-specific CSS: Browsers interpret CSS code differently, so there may be browser-specific CSS properties causing issues in Chrome. To address this, you can use feature detection libraries like Modernizr or prefix particular CSS properties with vendor-specific prefixes (-webkit- for Chrome). You can add custom code through the Webflow Designer or the Project Settings to target specific browsers and apply specific CSS rules.
JavaScript errors: In some cases, JavaScript errors or conflicts can occur in specific browsers. You can open the developer console in Chrome (right-click > Inspect) to check for any JavaScript errors that might be affecting your website's functioning. Fix any errors by reviewing the code responsible or removing conflicting scripts.
Cache issues: Chrome may be loading a cached version of your webpage, which could cause discrepancies between Safari and Chrome. To refresh the cache, you can try performing a hard refresh by pressing Ctrl + Shift + R (or Cmd + Shift + R on Mac) to clear any cache-related issues.
Webflow-specific issues: If the issue seems to be specific to the Webflow platform, ensure that you have the latest version of the Webflow Designer and publish your changes to reflect any updates or bug fixes. You can also compare the settings and configurations between Safari and Chrome in the Webflow Designer to identify any inconsistencies.
Browser extensions: Certain browser extensions installed in Chrome could interfere with the rendering of your website. To check this, try disabling any extensions temporarily and see if the issue persists.

Remember to thoroughly test your website on different web browsers and devices during the development process to identify and address any compatibility or cross-browser issues. By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the problem causing your website's home page to work differently on Safari and Chrome in Webflow.
