  Will it run on Ungoogled Chromium? https://github.com/nixballs/ungoogled-chromium https://github.com/nixballs/ungoogled-chromium

    According to [1], WebMidi is supported on Chromium, but I never tested it. App uses feature detection (navigator.requestMIDIAccess), so if it's there, it should work. No other Chrome-specific features are used, but without testing, it's hard to say for sure (e.g. video calls may, or may not, work on Firefox - there are slight differences in implementation of webRTC) [1] https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/web-midi https://www.chromium.org/developers/design-documents/web-mid... Edit: sorry, ungoogled one explicitly mentions webRTC among the disabled features - though promises to make it configurable in the future. My apologies.

You can install this addon for it to work: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/midi-input-provider/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/midi-input-pr.... (It would be nice for the author to include this link as well)

  I think the author is more interested in having that snarky line show up when someone isn't using Chrome.

    I will try to make it work on Firefox. There's a small detail that upset me more than the missing webMIDI implementation on Firefox: I couldn't style scroll bar for the text area, to match the dark background. On Firefox, it was ugly. I will give it another look, thanks for pointing out.

      For what it's worth I did check the site out in Chrome and it's cool. Well done. Consider making a trade-off of a less styled site but delivering the functionality in FF. I realize it's not optimal to deliver an uglier site, but at least the site works. You could leave a disclaimer about it somewhere if you really feel like it's an issue.

    I removed offending message. Now all browsers are supported, but those without webMidi can only listen to peer's playing (+recordings) via built-in synth.
