In theory it is just Webkit and as such it should behave like any 
popular browser
and in many cases it does. However, I have stumbled over several pages where
this is not the case and sometimes it even depends on the system you are
running your application on. It may work on Windows but fail on a Mac 
Retina.

Your best bet is to just give it a try with the pages that are important 
for you
and see how it behaves.

Here are a few pages where I have problems with.

https://www.google.com/maps - (enters "Lite-Mode" because of unsupported 
features.)

https://www.youtube.com - (I am not able to watch any video there. Same 
on vimeo.)

https://www.windyty.com - (No wind trails on MacBook Pro Retina.)

(Tested with JDK 8u66-b17)
