Firefox 4 Web Demos: announcing Web O’ Wonder

Like Cameron Moll (https://twitter.com/cameronmoll/status/43400482944847872), this blows my entire system up when opening in Chrome 9.0.597.107. Watching the videos don't feel that awesome, but I'm sure it would be sweet to actually be able to use (can't install Firefox 4 here).

Can you try Chrome 10? Or can't you install any other browsers where you are?

I downloaded the most recent Chromium nightly for the Mac. Firefox 4 does a better job. Chromium does fine on many things. However, Firefox 4 looks great! I'm sure with Chrome's rapid release cycle, these demos will work well within a matter of months.

It doesn't do anyone any good if demos only run in one browser.

I had to power cycle my iMac when I opened this is Chrome.

This should now be fixed on Chrome 9.

Everything ran beautifully on FF4 on my iMac. Smooth animations, was very impressed. Now that was a demo.

Doesn't blow up my system with Chromium 9.0.597.107 (75357) Ubuntu 10.10 x86_64. (That's the version in the Maverick repos.) The WebGL stuff doesn't work right, but the underlying video and audio play fine, and the 'alien invasion' video played without skipping or any bad behavior as well.

Cool to see Project London there. Looks like a nice indie action movie in the vein of Firefly.

These are just the first three. There's a bunch more on the way, and some are truely amazing. These all should now work on Chrome- they weren't at first.

It seems so... 1998!
