Is the omission of Chrome from the suggested list of browsers deliberate?

Simplest explanation is probably the most likely: this page was created 3-4 years ago before Chrome was launched or before it was stable and nobody has updated it.

I suppose the 'Any Browser Campaign' (<a href="http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/" rel="nofollow">http://www.anybrowser.org/campaign/</a>) is not their cup of tea.<p><i>""Anyone who slaps a 'this page is best viewed with Browser X' label on a Web page appears to be yearning for the bad old days, before the Web, when you had very little chance of reading a document written on another computer, another word processor, or another network."</i> -- Tim Berners-Lee in Technology Review, July 1996

It's probably not a slight against Chrome. These sorts of edge-case error pages are typically some of the least up-to-date for a website. You need to use a browser they don't test with to see it, so naturally they won't see the page during testing.<p>Alternately, Chrome might be legitimately untested but functionally equivalent enough to Safari that everything works. In that scenario leaving Chrome off the list of supported browsers is just a CYA in case something doesn't work.

Just for the record...<p>I believed it was more of negligence to update the webpage than a passive-aggressive attack on Chrome. It just seemed amusing to me in light of the recent competition between the two companies =)

It probably wasn't updated. Chrome appears on the list of recommended browser in the FAQ (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=19339" rel="nofollow">http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=19339</a>)

Old idealist geek alert.<p>I realize that 192% of everyone who ever lived uses Facebook for every possible task 27 hours per day, but every time I read "Facebook", I can't help thinking about AOL in the late 90's..."This is not the way is was meant to be."<p>We got away from the pseudo-monopolistic controls of AT&#38;T, IBM, the US government, and finally AOL to enjoy the golden days of the world wide web from 2000 to 2005. Oh how glorious it almost was. Then, like self-mutilating OCD addicts on Xanex, we couldn't stand the freedom and quickly jumped to the next most promising walled garden.<p>FWIW, I used Chrome for the first time yesterday and I love it! No going back to ie or Firefox for me. Can't access Facebook? No problem for me; all I ever wanted was a simple browser and access to the open world.<p>No, yahoo, I won't use my Facebook id to get my email. No, &#60;insert Website 2.whatever name&#62;, I don't use Facebook. And no Facebook, Twitter, itunes, and the rest of you guys who want to wall us off, I will not use you. (And don't think I'm not starting to worry about you too, Google.)<p>I know, I know, I still use my Giant Eagle/GetGo frequent buyer card, so everyone on the internets probably knows that I bought aspirin last night, but I'm still clinging to my last little bit of freedom.<p>Respectfully yours,<p>The last free hacker standing, clinging tightly to my mouse and keyboard
