Chrome does because it's built on WebKit, where 96 as the only
possibility is the traditional Macintosh way, which became also the
Internet Explorer default behavior back in v7 or v8.

Since 2010/08/18 in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=537890
it only does so in the UI, not in web page content, where it now copies
the IE, Chrome and Safari insanity. You can see the impact by using it
to view both http://fm.no-ip.com/Auth/dpi-screen-windowg.html (old
edition that worked as expected before that "fix"), and http://fm.no-
ip.com/Auth/dpi-screen-window.html (modified version that can be
accurate only in Geckos, Konq, and most old browsers). Its behavior can
be impacted by two hidden preferences, layout.css.dpi (integer) &
layout.css.devPixelsPerPx (a string parsed as a float), the former of
which defaults to -1, and the latter to 1.0.
