Couldn't get this to work in Chrome on OS X, suspect it has something todo with some of my extension(s) blocking needed stuff.

In addition to an "Incognito Mode" (where you might still want some extensions enabled) we really need a "No Extensions/No-(Popup)-Blocking mode" so sometimes one can enjoy stuff like this while keeping sane during normal day to day browsing.

EDIT: just watched after disabling all my extensions and restarting (yes, that was necessary) Chrome, only to realize that i'd already seen it in 2011...

Linux/Chrome, doesn't work for me either.
For those who can't get it to work, here's a video showing what it is/how it was made. Really cool stuff.

Apparently it 'may not work correctly' in my browser. Why is the error message an image rather than text? http://www.allisnotlo.st/static/img/top/txt_message_en.png (I assume it's because typography on the web still sucks)

User agent sniffing, pre-rendered images for text and browser specific sites. This is not the open and modern web we were promised.

Wow. Great spectacle of creativity and browser manipulation ;)

Looks best in Chrome for OSX so it's not broken up by the Windows Aero borders.

"Please enjoy this content on your PC" and a static image is what I'm seeing (chrome/ipad)
WTF! Thousands of popups start coming out of the screen. I never asked for that...
Despite the website's protestations it worked just fine in Firefox.
Worked great for me too. Firefox 20.0a2 on Ubuntu.
The trick to get it to work in Chrome is to add 'plug-in' and 'pop-up' exceptions for host:
