Google & Safari = not a modern browser?

The latest doodle on the Google homepage today has a lovely footnote on my Mac running the latest version of Safari on OS X 10.7 : Upgrade to a modern browser and see what this doodle can really do.

It then directs you off to install Chrome. Firefox 12 gives the same result. That's a bit cheeky Google, it really is.

It works fine in Safari on Mountain Lion (you get a playable Moog Synth) so I suspect it's simply looking for some HTML 5 support that's in Chrome (and Safari on ML) rather than specifically looking for Chrome.

The Moog synth works fine on Safari 5.1.7 on Lion. Just gives the silly message.

lol at the topic. I just tried it in IE9 and it works great.
