Looks like it's a browserwalled to users of Chrome or Safari and promotes their use as an "upgrade", blocking all Firefox users.
```
  "Improve your experience"
  
  "Please use the latest version of a supported browser"
```

  Thanks for the feedback. Totally hear you.
  We’re referring specifically to the experience within Bricks, not trying to comment on browsers in general. Right now, we’ve optimized for Chrome and Safari simply because we’re a small team and needed to focus our testing.
  That said, we definitely don’t want to block anyone out and will take this as a push to improve Firefox support soon. Appreciate you taking the time to check it out.

I work on a product quite similar to this so I would love to check out the competition. However, it seems you want me to "improve" my experience by using Chrome or Safari lol. That's quite an interesting opinion...

    Yeah I would prefer to just use the product and encounter a bug, or maybe be notified gently with a popup or toast or something that my browser is not officially supported. I understand you can't optimize for every browser, but full page browser wall is quite a hostile solution.

    That’s a fair point. We’ll definitely consider switching to a softer approach once we’ve tested the main flow a bit more.

Sounds interesting but making us login (in my opinion) is an anti pattern and not worth it to check out. Let us play with an example without requiring us to give out our data.

  You are right, this is a miss from our side.
  At the moment, editing is only available after login. But here is a dashboard I created using our AI agent. No manual editing was done, just dropped the file and got this result:

  No login needed to view. Thanks for checking it out.

Looks cool! It'd be great to play with it without needing to log in. I'd recommend prompting for login on the second prompt, after initial value seen.

  Thanks for the feedback. We plan to add a version where you can explore the product without needing to log in first.
  In the meantime, here is a dashboard I created using our AI agent. You can open it without login to view the read only version. No manual edits, just dropped the file and got this result:
