Loaded it in Firefox and was told I needed to download Chrome. Loaded it in Chrome and was told I needed to download... Chrome. Guess my Chrome isn't bling enough.

Was it that "something something Best Browser something something" the message for your chrome as well?

Here's a native (non-flash) version that supposedly also works in Firefox and Safari http://dabblet.com/gist/6046779 Made by Verou: https://twitter.com/LeaVerou/status/358726425454444545

Extra points for not needing "world's best browser".

Their browser detection seems to be broken didn't work on latest chromium either.

>This site is running only on the world's best browser Wow. Why don't people use feature detection or something? I don't understand the rise in vendor locking websites to Chrome. I think we should just outright abolish the user-agent.

User-agents can be abolished once all browsers are created equal; same HTML standards support, same performance. Pretty sure it only works in Chrome because it has good support for the latest HTML technologies, good performance, and good developer tools.

I strongly contest that Chrome is the 'world's best browser'.

^W "Only in [browser name]" is so 1997.

yeah, going back to that now. HTML5 fanciness has replaced animated .gifs, too. And modal dialogs have replaced popups.

[rant]seriously, why do a third of the sites linked to HN open up with a meaningless modal dialog / popup asking me to join a mailing list or fill in a survey. I'd fill in a survey if you'd actually let me visit your site to see what the survey questions are about![/rant]

That's because when you load it in Firefox it will redirect you to another URL. Then you copy/paste that in Chrome and you see the same message. I hate when websites do this...
