This should come built in in all modern browsers.

Browsers are getting too feature laden. Soon nobody will be able to write a browser from scratch. Instead, let users implement the features they need, or let them use libraries if necessary.

Yes, sure, but thIs is one of those things we don't realise should be a core, kernel-level feature until it's put on our Christmas dinner plate (by all means keep things like security/auth/etc in libraries)

I opened this on my Notebook, and it's Fan spun out of control! it might be my ancient hardware, but this is rather CPU intensive it seems. But the effect is fun, and cool non the less! (on Linux, Xorg + Frirefox)

I suspect that Firefox is relying on modern-ish GPU features to make things "fast", but Mesa is straining the CPU to emulate those features, which are missing from your older GPU. (Software going "I'll use the GPU, that must make things faster!" is what finally pushed me away from using an x60 as my daily driver).

(edit: this assertion is incorrect, I skimmed the code too fast) I had no idea that you can draw on any element, not just canvas ones ... I thought there was a semantic meaning there ... apparently there isn't?

reminds me of freezeframe.js, you can grab an a slice of a gif and draw a canvas image on top

except this is just any regular div element
