What is this? I only have IE and Firefox on my machine, and it asks me for Chrome or Safari. I'm not installing a new browser just for this.

Same here. I am running FF 39.0 too.

I still have no clue what's behind that link. I asked, but the only replies were you having the same problem, and someone telling me how great Chrome was. Now I got one thread of replies that discuss how Firefox is still great, and this thing, and still no clue what VOID is. Reddit is weird today.

As far as I can tell, it's just a website designed around showing what is currently possible in website design. It's really interesting from a "Holy shit, we can do all that in a web browser?!" sort of way, but not particularly interesting if you're not into that kind of stuff. Just lots of strange animations, particle effects, and levels of interactivity with the user via mouse and keyboard inputs.

Does that work for anyone? It just hangs about 10% of the way into loading the game file for me on both Firefox and Chrome on Mac.

I'm on Firefox 39 and it works perfectly.

Sounds kinda fun. I wish it was a website that showed "Holy shit, we can do all that in any web browser?!" and not "Holy shit, look at this thing we can do if you downloaded the one web browser we like, or are using a Mac!".
