That's not the supported browser list – this is: http://www.facebook.com/help/210310575676558

It's always been on there.


Glad they are supporting it! Looks like that page is just to download one. I wish they would add Chrome to it but meh. Not a big deal. Google has advertising all over for Chrome it seems when you use IE, maybe on the other ones also.


Nobody can find that it was removed, just that it was never added, discussion from 5 days ago: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4020406

A curious case, IE supported but chrome isnt. Microsoft shareholding aside that is indeed strange. Anyone with any intel on why?


This is odd ... but it's not like Google doesn't do the same thing all the time, at least to a degree.

Look at its most recent interactive Google Doodle, the Moog keyboard. When you accessed the page on Firefox, there was a little note that said something like, "Consider upgrading to a modern browser like Chrome to get the full experience." (I think the Chrome version made use of a different method for producing the audio -- presumably implemented for the sole reason of promoting Chrome.)


I think I'll file this under w/e. People do make a big deal about the most trivial things.


They probably just forgot to add it..


It's war
