Could you send me a screenshot, my IGP has no love for webgl.

What's wrong with webgl, isn't it supported by the vast majority of browsers and devices?

Doesn't appear to work on Firefox, reports "no webgl".

Which OS? Does WebGL work fine for you?

"It appears that your web browser does not support webGL", which is bs. They seem to be pushing Chrome, for some reason.

It is my understanding that Safari is a bit behind on the WebGL front. Could you try it with Chrome ?

I'm using google chrome, but it doesn't work for me. Suggests using Google Chrome, because webGL. Chrome 55

Do you have WebGL disabled? Works fine in my Chrome in macOS.

Shouldn't WebGL work in Firefox though?
