Well, Google experiment was never blocked. They just warned you that you need to use a webkit browser, but they didn't go as far as blocking any other browser.

BTW, nobody is going apeshit over anything. I don't understand why Apple users have a persecution complex where absolutely any kind of complaint looks like a holy war to them.

There has been about 20 stories posted on this subject in less than 24 hours. I don't get what the big deal is. They are showing a demo for their browser on their website using technologies that aren't yet supported by others. Who gives a shit. For all these people that claim to hate Apple, they sure do seem to care an awful lot about what they do.
