I just realized that such popular memes, contribute in eating away at Internet Explorer's market when they don't work on it. People who for months could not be bothered to even just upgrade to IE7 or 8, are now more than willing to download and install another browser, just to see google "do a barrel roll".
- melling 15y agoYep, an occasional HTML5 Easter Egg could nudge people to upgrade. How about a few written in WebGL?
- estel 15y agoNot that this couldn't have worked in IE9 (and Opera?) anyway if Google had used a few more CSS prefixes.
- Osiris 15y agoExcept that those people may not realize what's going on. When I checked the page in my default browser, Opera, I saw nothing (Doesn't work in IE 9 either). It wasn't until I read through the comments that I figured I should try it in Chrome. I suppose, however, that people that hear about it will probably have people telling them that it only works in Chrome. Once they do see it though, they may see what they are missing. I'm using WebGL on Google Maps and it's awesome. Now if they can just settle on a nice standard that works in every browser.
- baby 15y agoworks in Firefox btw ;)
- manojlds 15y agoIt doesn't work in Opera as well, and since I know Opera is an awesome browser, and such things do work on it if I "mask" it as Firefox, it only makes me avoid their services. One reason why I don't use Google+ at all is that the notifications don't work on Opera. But again, if I mask as Firefox, it work perfectly.
