Quite a few are broken in modern browsers if the Browser isn't Chromium based (Edge, Chrome and others). MS Site works on my non-Chromium browser even though it claims I need Edge.
I think websites are often worse than Standard Books. I've not had a problem with their standard epub on a Kobo, even thought they claim it's not for Kobos and like Jon disparage the common version of ADE, but that doesn't bother me. They offer more choice of Format than Amazon or Kobo and often better formatted than ebooks from either. It seems on average the medium or niche publishers on Amazon, Kobo and Google are better than SP or big guys.
Also you can quickly change anything not to taste in Calibre. Gutenberg is often weird and Internet Archive's Kindle & epub formats are mostly useless, being un-proofed bad OCRs. Only their PDFs are worth downloading.
See also Global Grey eBooks for better than average PD.
