I like the irony of the site telling me not to use Safari.

Another day on Hacker News, another interesting project where the author hasn't heard of Modernizr.
Ironically, it is using Modernizr.

    <script src="/js/lib/modernizr-2.6.2.min.js"></script>
Seems like whoever created it had trouble with HTML5 audio though...
Ugh. In that case, they're missing the point of Modernizr. If there's no polyfill or fallback available, the solution isn't to say "Don't use Safari". At the very least, they could display as useful message that says something like "Your browser doesn't appear to support feature X, try browser Y instead."

When I see "Don't use Safari", I interpret that as "I'm too lazy to make this work in Safari", rather than "this doesn't work in Safari".
