Right, fun fact: this is what you see on inbox.google.com under firefox

"Inbox only works in Google Chrome. More browsers coming soon."

The main bug blocking Inbox on firefox has been fixed in nightly.

Maybe it's forgivable for now because it's still in Beta and is invite-only.

To be fair it does come off as a bit preachy to blog about your great crossplatform story under the circumstances.

I believe the cross-platform comment is about supporting iOS and Android.

Come on~

If you can't get your application working on more than one browser, how am I supposed to take your talk about working on multiple platforms seriously?

Post content: good, interesting.

Timing: not ideal.

It's like Australia at the G20 in 2012. Didn't really make them any friends with that either.

Sure it is. I do love that product. But maybe then it's a little bit early for this kind of blog post.

It's totally different, because Google promised to do no evil.

Well it is an app that is 100% optional. Also they are adding other browsers so that evil part?
