I'm not so sure I wanna use anything from a site which claims I'm using a buggy version of Chrome that they don't support. Especially not as I'm actually using Safari 5.1.

So you figure Chrome should only be used by neckbeards capable of understanding the source?

Say what? Moscow is most definitely European. It's located something like 850 miles west of the Urals.
