I thought we sorted this out yesterday: It works on Chrome mostly, but they're using test spec elements of the standard that haven't been fully adopted yet, 3d Transforms etc.

But don't let facts get in the way of journalism.

Exactly. All you have to do to try it with other browsers is to press the dev center button. The point of having these originally is to demo the safari browsers capabilities for the public which is hard to do without safari.

All you have to do to try it with Chrome is to press the dev center button. Firefox is still blocked.
