Sorry I am too lazy to care about browser specific web sites.

Fair enough :) Do you mind sharing what's your browser? Trust me, it's been hard enough to work on Firefox, Chrome, Safari, iOS and Android for a first try!

I had the same message on my Windows Phone 8.

It actually doesn't show too bad. So I would anyway rewrite this message.

- First, why absolutely say Chrome ? Especially if it actually works in Firefox.

- Second, well, even if I wanted, I can't download Chrome on Windows Phone, so I would say that you should detect when it's a smartphone and show a different message then.

- Third, I can understand that it's a lot of work to support all of those platforms, so I don't necessarily expect that you fix the issues with Windows Phone, but that really irritates me when people always advise to download Chrome. This is not IE 6 times anymore, we should all learn from it :)

You're right. We'll change the message as soon as I come back to my desk. To be honest, the fact is that for the specific widgets and animations we're using, Chrome gets the best performance (at least on my MacBook Air). Firefox also has troubles with the dotted attribute for border css that we use for the lux widget. But Safari works ok, just as any WebKit browser! And for the record I use safari as my primary browser :)

Works absolutely fine for me in Firefox. Top job.

It shows the banner in IE but then it is actually very slow.

Ha and to not be totally negative, because I like it a lot, is the code open source somewhere ?

Thanks, I'm especially interested in the dashboard part since I have a personal project with a "dashboard" view ! :)

Isn't IE 10/11 still the most popular browser?

Firefox ESR 31.3.0

Seems fairly mutual then.

I believe the tone of the message is to take the onus to the developer - if they had more time, or if your browser respected standards moar, you would be able to visit the website without caring about which browser you use.

Front-end development, with the variety of form factors and browsers can be a thankless task which not many people respect - I think their message could be far worse personally.

You lucky bastard, all I got was a blank black page.
