Great to see 360 web video for once. I hate YouTube's "you need Chrome for this". My answer to that is "no Google, you need cross-browser 360 video".

I tried the NYT video on iOS Safari and while it worked, it was a bad experience. When swiping up to look up and down, the whole page scrolled instead of the video pitching up/down. The video was choppy too. I'm impressed they got it working on iOS Safari though. Apple would prefer you repeat the phrase "there's an app for that", and it's no surprise their browser well short of its potential for handling such things.
