I see no reason why this should be a Chrome exclusive in PC only mode. Firefox supports WebGl.

- pytrin 14y agoYou're technically right (and I found it annoying too) - but it is a "Chrome" expriment... naturally it would only support Chrome.
- zobzu 14y agoits a website. one of many, that is chrome only. makes IE looks like a good citizen these days
- cdi 14y agoWell, Mozilla didn't make their BananaBread experiment Firefox only: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/demos/detail/bananabread https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/demos/detail/bananabread
- bzbarsky 14y agoWhy "naturally", if other browsers also implement the relevant technologies?
- pytrin 14y agoThey create those demos to attract users to their browser - kind of defeats the purpose if you can run it using any browser. I actually downloaded mobile chrome on to run this - I usually run Firefox.
- kbrosnan 14y agoI clicked through all their fine print links and the demo ran OK on Firefox nightly using the desktop only option. Admittedly that cuts out a good portion of the demo.
- bzbarsky 14y agoIf your purpose is to attract users rather than advance the web, sure. But they _claim_ that the purpose of these demos is to advance the web. That's not to mention that claims like "only works in Chrome" when in fact it works elsewhere happen to be lies. I guess no one worries about that sort of thing nowadays...
- itistoday2 14y agoCouldn't agree more. Instead of promoting cross-browser web standards in a cooperative manner, they're pretending they couldn't support other browsers in a sad attempt to win more users. Not going to happen.
