When not having flash installed, the site popups a dialog suggesting to go to html5.grooveshark.com "for a flash-free experience". When clicking that link, the browser gets redirected to grooveshark.com and the dialog popups again.

Thanks for the bug report, I'll look into it.

Edit: Can't reproduce on my machine. Can you clear any cookies related to Grooveshark and try it? I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the cookies we're using to direct people to the new interface.

I deleted all cookies and the issue remains.

... I think I got it. For unblocking youtube-videos which are heavily censored here in Germany, I have the extension Proxmate installed. Which offers access to Grooveshark, which I just noticed. Without it, I can't even access the site, so it's safe to assume the extension is responsible, probably detecting the blockade and redirecting.

A shame you geocensor your site :( But sorry for the false bugreport.

No problem, thanks for reporting back on it.
