Support the decentralized internet by using the products of a company currently trying to centralize the internet!

And being open source friendly, proposing using closed browsers...

I welcome the ideas of Blockstack but the implementation with Chrome and Safari is obviously a big mistake. I will not even try it since the ideas of Blockstack on one hand and Google and Apple on the other hand are not compatible.

Larry from Blockstack here. It works on whichever browser is your default browser and soon all of your browsers. Nothing is Chrome (or Safari!) specific! If you have a problem using Blockstack with your favorite browser, we'd love to know about it so that we can fix it! Sorry about the confusion!

Wouldn't surprise me if they never test in non-WebKit browsers, seems common these days.

Looks like it now says "Chrome or Safari or Firefox"
