Error message tells me "You need to update your Chrome browser" when I'm running Safari. Would be more helpful to say "You need to use Chrome instead of Safari".

Didn't test beyond that as I don't have a guitar, was just curious to see what it looked like and thought I'd point that out.

It needs getUserMedia but its slated to be in the next version of safari. Firefox and edge both support getUserMedia so there's no reason for the author to constrain the clients to chrome. If it were based on webmidi then that would be the case as only chrome supports webmidi but the author is only useing getUserMedia.

It's telling me the same thing in Firefox.

Imo if you are using safari and you are playing a demo, you should expect the demo not to work. Safari is the new IE and most demos use advanced browser APIs that safari doesn't support. You shouldn't need an error message to understand that.

The list of APIs which Webkit doesn't support(at least in the preview version) is surprisingly small[1]

Chrome is a lot closer to IE in that it incorrectly implements standards to encourage developers and users to priorities it's platform(like a certain company[2])

And at the same time it seems that Chrome is also the new IE in that developers write applications that only work in Chrome. Not so different than web apps using ActiveX back in day.

  Safari is the new IE

Is that meant as praise or criticism?
