Description
Due to security concerns, the Safari browser won't allow a Web page loaded via https to open URLs with http (non-secured) protocol. Therefore, we need to always provide some kind of warning to Safari users about this when using Web pages that try to contact IGB via http.
For this task, implement some kind of improvement to the Genome Dashboard application (production link: https://www.bioviz.org/genome-dashboard) so that if a user visits using Safari, they will understand why the application is not working and what to do about it.
Be sure to fully read the background information about this – see linked issues. Also, search for every Jira ticket containing the word "Safari" in the description to ensure you understand the issue fully and how we have dealt with it in the past.

The view functionality too will work only for Chromium-based browsers, Firefox, and Edge.
The messages displayed were finalized based on the discussion in today's meeting with Nowlan Freese and Chirag Chandrahas Shetty.
[~aloraine] Please let me know your thoughts on this so I can make the final changes if any.
I have tried the new banner in Google Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari and it works as expected.
Please make a note of what you learned from the feedback and how (or if) you made any changes to the interface.
The message "unsupported browser type" and "Redirection..." is probably too technical. A user who has never before used this interface will likely not understand what "redirection" means.
Please see attached image showing the popup that appears when a user clicks a species tile and IGB is not running.
Can you match the look & feel for the popup that appears if a user tries to click a tile when running Safari browser? Note how the message is friendly, brief, informal, and addresses the user directly (using second person singular.)
Chester Dias - when ready, can you give a demo?
Change requests:
- Change yellow banner message to "To open a genome in IGB, use a different Web browser: Firefox, Chrome, or Edge."
- Change popup message as follows:
- heading - "Unsupported Web browser"
- message - "To open a genome in IGB, use a different Web browser: Firefox, Chrome, or Edge."
- add button: "Close" (make it look the same as in start-igb-messagepng")
Requested Changes have been made: https://bitbucket.org/chesterdias/genome-dashboard-local-chester/branch/IGBF-2731#diff
Merged but not yet deployed to test.bioviz.org
[~aloraine] - have these changes been deployed to test.bioviz.org?
Changes are deployed to 52.4.208.199.
Updated DNS (just now) to associate address https://bioviztest.bioviz.org with 52.4.208.199.
Note: The host was updated to the latest branch and also includes code for IGBF-2731 "Detect Safari on Genome Dashboard"
Tested on macOS Safari Version 14.0.2. The warning banner appears when using safari and not when using chrome/firefox, as expected.
Banner appears for all browsers with exception of Chromium-based browsers, Firefox, and Edge.
