Easiest way to tell maximal compatibility of a web page with your browser ?

I know Firefox and Chrome are very compatible with the vast majority of web pages. IE used to be the default one. I like Opera, so sometimes I'm out of luck.

What's the easy way ? Look at page source ? Thanks.

Certain web pages, usually those with the most adverts and/or videos, do not load well for older browsers.

Opera is a fast laoder of pages, in my experience. I keep it on hand for when some pages revolt at my older Ff or at my ad-blockers.
