Wow, I'd love to check this out but I got this message:
"It looks like you're using an older device or web browser. Please update your browser or visit on a newer device."
A bit of an odd thing to see when I'm on the latest version of Chrome on a Mac and it says "In partnership with Google" right under that. What gives?
- aaron695 9y agoSame. Working on my phone, I think it's mobile only?
- madiathomas 9y agoIt isn't mobile only. I visited it using Chrome Version 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit) on Windows 10. Works fine.
- raverbashing 9y agoVersion 57 on Mac. "Older device or Web browser" Edit: updated to 58, still get the message. What a joke Edit2: Worked under FF on Mac
- madiathomas 9y agoMaybe they are sniffing for OS and assume you are using Safari.
- unicornporn 9y agoFor me it didn't work in Firefox on macOS, but it worked in latest Chromium. What a mystery.
- jiri 9y agoI am Win10, Chrom 58, same message. Yeah, what a joke.
- madiathomas 9y agoMaybe it is a load balancing strategy. Randomly tell people that they need a modern browser to control trafic.
- Kluny 9y agoVersion 58.0.3029.110 (64-bit), except I'm on a Mac. Is it possible they've got a bug that misidentifies Mac browsers?
- madiathomas 9y agoThey probably assumed everyone using Mac is using Safari. I have seen lots of code shared on programming forums that simply check for Mac and assume the person is using Safari.
- matt4077 9y agoThen you should read better "programming forums", because I haven't seen anything like that since the late 1990s, and it's preposterous to think that something produced with this level of quality would commit such atrocities. Also, it does work on Chrome, Chromium, Firefox.
- madiathomas 9y agoOne of those forums was Stackoverflow. I don't know a better programming Q&A forum than SO. Please share so that I can switch to them.
- acchow 9y agoIt's not a mac problem. I'm on a mac. The site doesn't work in Chrome, but it does work in Safari.
- IIIIIIIIIIII 9y agoNo, same problem here with latest Chrome on Windows 10.
- jopython 9y agoThe site didn't work for Chrome on Ubuntu either with the same version. Firefox on Ubuntu worked though.
- matt4077 9y agoWorks for me... Sierra, tried Chromium, Chrome Canary, Safari, and Firefox. Possibly hardware-related? There was a similar complaint in another thread yesterday and it apparently had to do with WebGL not being supported with some GPUs.
- venatiodecorus 9y agoI got this message as well, latest Chrome, on Sierra, MBP 2016. Also saw this message on the map of land ownership in England that was posted today.
- nantes 9y agoI got the same message, with a pretty recent version of Chrome, for the "ownership in England" site as well. Turned out, they're browser detection was based on/foiled by some third-party JS I had blocked, by default, with uMatrix. Whitelisting that JS solved the problem.
- acchow 9y agoI get this too. I don't think this is how the internet is supposed to work.
- raphar 9y agoI got this one too, but solved it accessing with FF. I prefer migrating to FF rather than restarting chrome at this very moment. They lost a user.
