    Resist complaining about being downmodded. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading. http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html http://ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

  In Opera 11.x you don't get a warning, but the site never loads.

If you been using both browsers for a while, you could (at least IMHO) feel the increasing slowness of FF comparing to Chrome, at lest within last 2 years. Further, the site looks very much polished in Chrome and its hard to find anything to blame for. If they did benchmark testing and realized Chrome works the best for decryption/encrypting/etc, I don't blame them for giving up on other browsers.

Mega uses features from a draft W3C spec called "file-system-api": http://www.w3.org/TR/file-system-api/ http://www.w3.org/TR/file-system-api/ Chrome supports this, Firefox does not.
