Amazing that it works on non-Chrome as well, then! (opera, in my case)

(also, hi! small world)



Mr. Skrebbel! :)

Yes. Chrome Experiments is not about Chrome-specific experiments but about pushing Javascript and the new cross-browser APIs.

I always try to use APIs supported by more than one browser. It just happened that it performed much faster on Chrome than any other browser for a year or so (until the other browsers catched up).

Good to see that, 2 years after relase, people on Firefox/Opera/IE can finally see the thing properly ;)
