Because the rest of the commentors in this thread seem to not be reading the article, there's a performance issue in Firefox due to the following unresolved bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1190398

The link to the demo comes before the warning to firefox, don't shame commenters who chose to see the content at discussion first before reading below the fold.

Don't try this [1] in Firefox, from the article:

> Unfortunately, Mozilla still hasn't fixed the performance bug 1190398 around ShadowBlur, filled for BLCK4777 5 years ago

> Therefore you need to use a Chromium or Webkit browser to enjoy MONOSPACE live

For people not able (or willing) to run the demo themselves, it can also be seen on YouTube in a 3 minute clip [0]. It keeps amazing me how much people can accomplish with less than a KB of code.

The video was lost on me whereas the demo made me think how cool it was.

I expected the video to explain what it was but alas no. The video is just the demo running. The demo was brilliant, but, the video of the demo, although practically the same had me wondering quite negative thoughts. I wasn't thinking 'how do they do that', I was thinking 'this is a bit pretentious'. It is amazing the difference context makes.

It was hard to get to a working demo and here it is: http://www.p01.org/MONOSPACE/monospace-compatible.htm

Pretty interesting that even though I mute the tab it still speaks. The music does get muted, but not the TTS

Even when the tab is removed the music continues :/

Who's shaming anyone?

Even as a Firefox-user, I would recommend running this in Chrome. It's clearly optimized for that target, and it's getting a much higher FPS in Chrome than Firefox.

Jesus I should have read this comment first.

It completely locked up Firefox on Ubuntu 20.04, rendering a frame and making a single beep sound about once per second. Had to close the browser and force kill some processes to get the TTS to stop.
