> My conclusion: the onus is on the device manufacturers to not arbitrarily restrict their users. Jim Nielsen's mom's iPad is perfectly capable of opening that website, but its manufacturers are limiting it artificially. No, it's not. Firefox and Chrome on iOS both use the operating system's Safari engine. (I mean, yeah, the hardware would support running a more recent browser engine, so your point still holds.)

You're right: I forgot that ultimately it's Safari anyway. But this happened to me with several other apps, too, such as Garage Band, some synthesizer apps, even a guitar tuner wouldn't work on a completely capable device that's now basically useless!
