We're still doing this shit in 2022?

The site is only compatible in Chrome, Safari, or Chrome?

For now! It was a fun project I made with some time constraints. If it gets popular I'll figure out how to make it work with FF.

Thanks for taking a look!

What exactly doesn't work in FF that works in Chrome??

Somewhat related to https://github.com/mozmorris/react-webcam/issues/310 Rendered webcam source is not cropped to square as it does in other browsers.

FF solution may be to use ffmpeg to crop on backend

I apologize for taking the piss. I do remember the bad old days of IE6 when the open web slightly closed because a lot of sites only worked in Internet Explorer on Windows.

Please, if you have the time, try and fix that prevents it from working in Firefox.

Chrome is the new IE
