>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.

We have feature detection for this.

And the site doesn't work for me in Chrome Canary (that supports everything that stable Chrome does and more).

Author of that site is just a troll/fanboy or incompetent at using latest web standards.

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

Thank you, I was really disappointed to be told I could only find out what I was looking at if I installed chrome.

I don't really like it.

What irks is that it tells you "scroll down to proceed" but then you can't scroll back up and control what's going on. Why not keep the page fixed and have the content within in scrolling? You know, like in a video?

I feel that's unfair. It's a demo.

It's like complaining that someone built a proof-of-concept app and only made it work on a Mac.

Now if it had been a production website that only worked in one browser, then you'd be right.
