"Use webkit for the best experience. That means Google Chrome or Safari"

Please don't recommend browsers. What is in your app that Firefox can't do?

It works perfectly fine in Firefox, but you don't get to see the custom scrollbars and create button, which use webkit-specific CSS3.

I'd say just remove the text about recommending specific browsers. As long as the functionality is the same, a loss of certain a look and feel isn't worth mentioning to the user and causing a big turn off. At least, that was my initial reaction when I read that.

Thanks, I'll take it into account. I actually thought of this, which is why I decided to phrase it best experience.

More to the point, why not just make it work in every browser?

I realize we're not supposed to mention this here in the land of 60% FireFox and 35% Chrome, but most of the world still uses Internet Explorer as their daily browser.

If you want to make a product that people use, you have to make it usable by them. And that means developing for IE first and your browser of choice second.

It works in every browser. Even IE.
