You were making unfounded assumptions (that enabling WebGL would be as trivial as installing Chrome) and at the same time ignored the fact that you get highly useful results from WA without any plugins or bleeding-edge tech. Having good fallbacks is important.

Yikes. A lot of 'you' accusations there.

>You were making unfounded assumptions (that enabling WebGL would be as trivial as installing Chrome)

No, I made the point that installing Chrome is trivial and the message explicitly states that your system simply might not be capable. If that's the case, what is Google supposed to do? Just render an empty grid and make a "whah-wha" noise?

>at the same time ignored the fact that you get highly useful results from WA without any plugins or bleeding-edge tech

No I didn't. At all. I am not saying this is an "answer" or a competitor to WolframAlpha. This is a trivial feature that was thrown in. It's non-essential and I bet you'll never ever see Google pushing a browser plugin on any of their sites save for some existing exceptions (Talk). As you've noted, there are tons of places to go besides Google for a 3d graph.

>Having good fallbacks is important.

When it doesn't require confusing your user, or compromising standards to ask them to install a gargantuan plugin.

edit: If the whole point of this was merely to clean up the error message or simply suppress it on unsupported browsers, then sure, but like I said, I genuinely just didn't understand the sarcasm, my apologies.

"No I didn't. At all. "

Yes you did:

"it seems easier still to download Chrome to do a 3d render then it is to buy WA pro "

That's why you were corrected. Stop trying to defend this forever and move on.

Oh for god's sake, give it a rest. I thought (and have clarified this twice now) that it was simply a remark about (in)capable browsers. I clarified (also twice) that if it's about the error message on incapable computers, that it could be better written and I apologized for my confusion.

For many people getting that error, simply installing Chrome is a viable solution.

That's why I clarified and apologized (hint, that's the post you just replied to). Stop trying to attack me forever (for what I even acknowledged at the time was probably a misunderstanding) and move on.
