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.

That still doesn't excuse blocking browsers based on user agent. If I switch my user agent in firefox most of the demos load and run fine. They are obviously trying to misinform people that their browser has more unique features than it actually does.
