    That's not the supported browser list – this is: http://www.facebook.com/help/210310575676558

    It's always been on there.

    Nobody can find that it was removed, just that it was never added, discussion from 5 days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4020406

    This is odd ... but it's not like Google doesn't do the same thing all the time, at least to a degree.

    Look at its most recent interactive Google Doodle, the Moog keyboard. When you accessed the page on Firefox, there was a little note that said something like, "Consider upgrading to a modern browser like Chrome to get the full experience." (I think the Chrome version made use of a different method for producing the audio -- presumably implemented for the sole reason of promoting Chrome.)

    A curious case, IE supported but chrome isnt. Microsoft shareholding aside that is indeed strange. Anyone with any intel on why?

    I think I'll file this under w/e. People do make a big deal about the most trivial things.
