How do I get it to work on my Mac laptop?

Every time I open it, it simply will not work.

Eh, donate me a Mac Laptop, so that I can debug on it ;)

In all seriousness, I did some testing on a Blink-based browser, it works on there - so I have no idea why it doesn't work for you

No OP, but surely there's some online forum you could to for support? Not sure that an AMA is the right place. Do include more details though, because "simply will not work" could mean your laptop is at the bottom of the ocean for all we know.

Welp, as I wrote “ever time I open it…” must mean my laptop isn’t on the bottom of the ocean.

If you're on the bottom of the ocean, the pressure shouldn't keep you from opening your laptop. The only difference would be the viscosity of the water, and while pressure does potentially increase viscosity I doubt that's your problem.

I suspect with the laptop not being completely sealed, the pressure inside and outside of it would be equalized and they should be able to open it.
