On: How to Center in CSS (2015)

Don't do this, you will run into edgecases that make things look jank. Use flexbox: https://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/a-guide-to-flexbox/

Thanks for the tip. Any particular browser that causes such 'jank'?

This would center a fixed sized element in absolute position to page, this was never an issue. Problems start when you do not know size of your element and its parent. Flex finally fixes[1] this issue but it was not fully supported until recently[2].

Most of the flexbugs are now fixed and flex should be recommended way of making layouts.
