Using the latest version of Firefox on the latest version of Debian Linux. Fuck this page and fuck Chrome.

- Wowfunhappy 4y agoHm, so does the page work if you flip `media.webspeech.recognition.enable` in `about:config`?
- WorldMaker 4y agoRelevant footnote from that link: > Firefox currently has a media.webspeech.recognition.enable flag in about:config for this, but actual support is waiting for permissions to be sorted out. Once again, Google out in front of user permissions and protections getting finalized in standards bodies.
- ASalazarMX 4y agoIt uses speech recognition to transcribe what you're saying, but it lets you type your answer if you deny microphone access. That's a poor excuse to demand you run it in Chrome or Safari. I suppose a spoken answer gives more realism to an interview simulation, but a simple "Your browser doesn't support speech recognition. You can use Chrome, Safari, or manually type your answers", would have sufficed.
- stingraycharles 4y agoDon’t worry, I get the same error for Chrome on iOS, so it’s definitely not just Linux / Firefox users.

- ASalazarMX 4y ago> "Sorry, your browser is not currently supported. Please try again using Chrome or Safari." Sigh. Closes tab. "Do you really want to exit?" What do you think?
