I use Chrome as a default browser.
Whenever a site doesn't work or feels cluncky I try IE.
So far the only website I use that only runs well in IE is that of the Microsoft Virtual Academy though 
Of course if I have alternatives I go to a different site.
If there aren't any alternatives I just suck it up, with or without complaining on CP. Latest example...[^]
Another awful website that doesn't really work on any browser is that of our government, DigiD. I'm guessing it's not just our government though

I have personally found Microsoft Virtual Academy a very much helpful resource, but for intermediates. If you are beginner, just don't go to that site. It isn't meant for you.
Since we are talking about the website, not just MVA, I would say, IE and Chrome are not the culprit, it depends on the choice of a developer, how he targets the machine and user-agent. He must be able to provide same user-experience on both, Chrome and IE (others also!).
I have never tried IE, always been a Chrome user, will be one of the Chrome users. I wonder how would I act for Edge (the new IE). Let's see.

I've found great stuff for beginners as well! I used it when I started out with web development. The HTML and JavaScript tutorials are great.
Also used it for my Microsoft certificates, which is more intermediate level.
The problem I have in Chrome is with the video plugin. For some reason it keeps hiding and then showing the progress bar at the bottom. Really very annoying. IE doesn't have that problem.
I've had some websites using SilverLight (I think that's what it was?) that was also only supported in IE.

Sure, but sometimes developers (myself including) miss a browser compatibility issue and since IE is still the most widely used browser chances are it's at least tested in IE

You were not a beginner Sander, I am talking about noobs. I know a few, they never understood what they were talking about. As already said, the level is pre-intermediate (if we have to settle things) but not at all a beginner, or even post-beginner.
I have never been streaming videos, or using the <video> as I have convinced myself to prefer software development over web development. Here, I would have same mind-set as yours, JavaScript.
Many bootstraps can be used, but they still leave us to agree to their rules and they way-of-development. Overall, web development is just a pain! It is easy, the only part hard is the design. Then, making it compatible with all of the browsers.

Alright, I guess previous programming experience is required

Couldn't agree more! Sometimes I wish I was doing WinForms development again

and if it doesn't I chuck it or if I really need to to something on it I'd try working with the broken version (if its still workable).

BAsically I couldn't care less about fixing other's sites issues.
Don't get me wrong, I'm an active member at Experts-Exchange and I enjoy helping others, but when I reach a site with errors or strange behavior I just pick another one that can give me the same information.
Of course, this depends on the content. If that's the site I need to use then I just bear with it.
Sometimes I open the dev tools but just to remove the DOM elements for popups and messy advertisements 
Once I've done what I wanted, I just close it, keep complaining in my head for 30 seconds, and forget about it

Well, I have nothing to do with the site itself but I never noticed any "jumping"
In the home page (not logged-in) the main picture jumps but it's intentional. It's the way to show the next context fully in one shot.
If logged-in, nothing jumps for me.
At EE I don't mind reporting issues on the site!
