This site doesn't work on the browser.

It's kind of distorted.

Chrome and Safari are supported. I have no plan to support Firefox. If someone is interested to make it work on FF or elsewhere I'm posting the GitHub soon.

Thank you for your report.

Which browser?

It doesn't work for me either. I'm on Firefox. That website's markup is incorrect. There are also no <html>, <head>, or <body> tags in that webpage either, which might be a good explanation of why.

If you wanted to go over the markup for a FF port, I'll post the GitHub soon. It could be cool to have it work. Thank you.

Just write proper markup, and you won't have this problem. It's 2015, different browsers don't need "ports" anymore for things like this.

I won't support FF because I don't use it. If you want to I don't mind :)

Man, you don't understand :) I don't use FF either, but by intentionally abandoning HTML standard you make yourself vulnerable to issues in Chrome, Safari or whatever you use. New version comes out, and your site's broken.

It's not hard at all to comply to HTML standard, and just stop worrying about compatibility. Then you wouldn't even say the words "don't support <somebrowser>", because it's their problem that their browser doesn't follow standard.

Thanks for that. I don't know much about Browsers and W3C, and maybe your idea works.
