> For details, please visit a demo which requires your browser supporting Element.prototype.append, async functions, WebP, WebM, fetch API, CSS Variables, CSS sticky position, and full of ECMAScript 6. I recommend you use Chromium or Chrome Canary with two flags, chrome://flags/#enable-javascript-harmony and chrome://flags/#enable-experimental-web-platform-features, enabled.

Yikes.

Back to "Works Best in IE"? All of these things can be done without using experimental APIs. It may be a few dozen lines longer, but its not worth having to tell people to use Chrome Canary to test your project. As a Firefox user, this is a complete no-go.

At most 1 year later, firefox will support drool. Firefox does not support drool because it does not support async generator function.

There is no such thing as an "async generator function" in the JavaScript language :) Do you mean generator functions, which Edge and Firefox both support? Or async/await?

I think people are upset because normally when someone shows a project on HN, you expect to be able to run it. It's cool that this is something you have made to test new features, but if you haven't put in the marginal effort to make it usable for most people, it is not really worth posting and the "show HN" could wait until you have time to work on your project.

There is:
