Bug Description

Installed GMail WebApp for the first time today (so I don't know how old this behavior is) and GMail put a yellow banner across the top of the window saying:

This version of Safari is no longer supported. Please upgrade to a supported browser. Dismiss

The "supported browser" text is a link to https://support.google.com/mail/answer/6557?hl=en

P.S.: I am running Ubuntu 14.04.1 (fresh install) and I will probably remove the WebApps ESPECIALLY for Launchpad because I don't like their behavior (no ability to cut/paste bit me just now).

Changed in unity-webapps-gmail:
status: New → Confirmed

Same deal here on 14.04.2. Oddly enough I am not seeing this message with the Google Calendar webapp, but it does come up consistently with the Gmail web app.

just saw the same. Are the webapps using an old version of webkit?
