Are we moving to the Chrome only world?

Do you mind to share which browser you're using? It's working fine for me on Firefox.

When I load it, the website states that the simulation does not work on Firefox + Linux. Works fine for me when I re-opened it in Falkon (WebKit-based).

Edit: another responder to the parent comment said it works for them on Firefox dev edition on Arch Linux. I'm using Nightly on Arch and it gives the message stated above. With a UA switcher set to Chrome Windows, it loads but renders the image strips on the map as black stripes instead of 'textured' ones. Interesting...

Can’t see anything on the globe, just a circle.

Portions of the Earth appear as white dots orbit and the Earth rotates underneath. It works in Chrome but not Firefox for me. It's worth spending 10 seconds looking at, but I feel like I wasted some time opening up two browsers to check compatibility.
