The notebook is known to work well with current Chrome and Firefox. Safari and apparently Opera appear to work reasonably well, but it seems that Safari doesn't work with secure (wss) connections, and the same may be true of Opera. This may be a certificate issue, and the same thing may be affecting Opera. Once we better understand the causes of these issues, notes should be added to docs.

[This SO question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4014055/how-to-debug-safari-silently-failing-to-connect-to-a-secure-websocket) may be relevant for the Safari wss issue.
