I'm the author, it works best in Safari and IE 9. Use the bookmarklet to destroy any website.

Seems to work great in Chrome, too.

Just curious, why it so faster in Safari then in Chrome?

Thanks for making your site wacom-friendly. A lot of sites don't have any denoising for clicks, so if you try to click with a tablet it ends up dragging a tiny amount instead (twitter's lightbox is REALLY BAD in this respect).

I'm kinda sure it has to do with hardware acceleration.

My guess is that Safari rendering system use hardware acceleration and Chrome doesn't.

The bottleneck here is not javascript, it is the browser rendering system when applying all those css 2d transform.
