#22To everyone running it in Firefox: "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."
There is no opportunity to read this information before . . .

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.
Who's shaming anyone?
Guess . . . . "Because the rest of the commentors in this thread seem to not be reading the article"

#24It was hard to get to a working demo and here it is: http://www.p01.org/MONOSPACE/monospace-compatible.htm
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.
Works fine in Safari also

#25Tanked my firefox instance, which I closed, and the noise from the page continued. Do no open this in firefox.
And when I tried to run it in Chrome, my laptop (MacBook Air 2015 early) completely froze up after a few seconds. Probably you should not open this in older devices at all.

#26I'm getting the same issues as all of the other Firefox users. Guess I'll never watch it, because I have a hard policy of never, ever installing Chrome malware on my personal computer.
Maybe the title should be changed to "Chrome demo"?

Jesus, no one cares what your "policy" is.
Not to mention, it's a Firefox bug, so probably should be changed to "Firefox bug demo".
I fucking hate how snarky sometimes HN can be.

#28The 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.
Totally agree. I can't watch the demo run because I'm on Firefox, and I have no desire to watch a video for the reasons you described. And the world keeps spinning, I guess.

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 :/
That is so weird - same here, sound keeps playing ~1-2 min after tab is closed. Must be bug in Firefox? How does that happen?
