Will HTML5 work with other browsers?

YOUR BROWSER SCORES 343
HOWEVER.... back when GG had that bar on top of the farm to switch, it would never load. Just a never ending beachball spinning away. I even left, had lunch, came back, still spinning.
Firefox gave me this.
446 out of 555 points
(As if I knew what that means.)
Again, tested it back when that bar was on the farm and it did not work with firefox either.
BUT maybe they tweaked it?
Guess it will be a wait and see.
I do realize this has to be done. Flash is set to officially die by 2020. (Long overdue.)
But I'm not ready to upgrade (meaning downgrade) my browser which I know will ruin a lot of stuff I use.
(Damn apple anyway. Shakes fist at puter.)
Will this mean I can't any more?
@ Everyone
The HTML5 version or the game will work on any browser that supports HTML5, Opera for example is based on Chrome and so will support HTML5, but we don't develop or test specifically for other browsers not listed on the announcement. - The "Switch" button will most likely appear for Opera users at the same time as Chrome users (on the 10th).
Will I still be able to use my opera browser when the game switches over to HTML5?
my broser scored 389. i tried different apps opera mobile & windows edge both didnt work kept sending me to mobile farm.
any help or imformation would be appreciated.
So technically speaking as long as the game written and optimized correctly it will be much faster than Flash. Flash tends to overtime consume memory on your computer and so as the time progresses it becomes slower, this doesn't happen with HTML5. It also doesn't have the same security issues as Flash.
You shouldn't have a problem playing the game written in the same language as other websites you visit.
On the mobile, you will no longer need a Puffin browser. Any browser should work just fine.
HTML5 has now gone live & a new thread has been set up here:
HTML5 Feedback
Some posts have been moved from this thread to the new one.
Right now, as I type this message, the HTML5 version of the game is active. It is active on all HTML5 capable browsers available for desktop except for Google Chrome (specifically versions 69 + 70). This means that players with a Chrome version lower than that, for example 68, will have access to HTML5 via Chrome.
We recommended some browsers; Chrome, Edge and Firefox. While the game will work on other browsers we don't recommend using them simply because we haven't tested anything on them specifically. We have targeted the three most popular browsers and this has always been the case for Big Farm. So, the game may work fine on more browsers than mentioned but we can't guarantee there will be no issues directly related to those browsers and likely won't fix issues directly related to those browsers.
@CrazyBigfarm55 (US1) Your friend will likely be able to use Safari but we really recommend upgrading to the ones we mention.
As for mobile devices, you likely won't be able to play on those either with the new version. While HTML5 is capable of running on mobile devices we found in our testing that performance was not as we expected so it's most likely mobile devices are not your best choice.
Please also note, the Flash version is still active! Please be sure when giving feedback to make sure you are on the HTML5 version and not the Flash version
