Yes, it is an old thread, but let's make an update:
2016 September update : FIDO U2F browser support
- Chrome for Windows, OS X and Linux: Yes (Built-in)
- Chrome for Android [for FIDO U2F over NFC and over BLE devices]: Yes (You still have to download the official Google Authenticator App but this requirement will disappear in the future)
- Firefox: Devs are now officially working on it. Mozilla Foundation joined the FIDO Alliance. For now, while waiting for the official built-in support, you can use this great addon: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/u2f-support-add-on/ (It won't work on websites that do not know Firefox can be used too...)
- Safari, Internet Explorer and Edge: No U2F support is even planned, but who cares anyway... :)
- Just for the record: Opera Public Beta (v41) has U2F built-in support too. The next stable release should support FIDO U2F too.
