Version 57 on Mac. "Older device or Web browser"

Edit: updated to 58, still get the message. What a joke

Edit2: Worked under FF on Mac

I am Win10, Chrom 58, same message. Yeah, what a joke.

Maybe it is a load balancing strategy. Randomly tell people that they need a modern browser to control trafic.

Maybe they are sniffing for OS and assume you are using Safari.

For me it didn't work in Firefox on macOS, but it worked in latest Chromium. What a mystery.
