So please try this on Firefox and then on Chroome and see the difference. Firefox is not yet there, sadly.

#22Now, I remember that in a recent discussion there was some arguing on Firefox new JS engine whose results were benchmarked at a higher position than Chroome's. So please try this on Firefox and then on Chroome and see the difference. Firefox is not yet there, sadly.
I don't need my browser to drive full-screen 3D games & demos on my current-laptop hardware. That's not what I (or anyone else) is currently using their browser for. Maybe 5 years from now things will have changed. Maybe then truly everything will be in the browser. That's fine, but by then I will have bothered buying a newer, more powerful laptop, and the browser-engines will be even more improved and everything will probably be fine.
But right now? Performance gap between browsers being put to use they're not being used for? Watch me care less.
Honestly I'd much rather have people stop writing Chrome-only websites and going back to web-standards than having a faster JS-engine in my open-source browser, because that's not where things hurt these days.
Edit: the hatred for web standards in this thread is staggering. How about a reply saying why you don't think a fragmented web is a problem instead of silently downvoting a legitimate concern?

#23Earlier quoted context omitted.
java script remembers events this way. Dont see how one can apply this to human brain..
How can the human brain remember hours of highway trips in basically 3 pounds of fat without using some tricks to convert the information in to geometric 3d shapes? The developer who created this demo also know how to do it the other way round, he can write javascript that generate simple geometric shapes and animated transitions in javascript that generates a pretty good rendition of a highway trip at night.
There's no need for guesswork! Just dive into the literature.

#24Edit: much better in 35.0a2. I wonder what they did?

As a Firefox-user (on Linux!) who don't feel like installing Google's closed-source spyware-browser, would you be shocked to hear me chip in and say: I don't care.

Chrome is open-source Chromium plus an auto-updater and Flash.

Chromium! = Chrome and more people who realize that (and vocalize it) the better.

So yes I am shocked to hear that you don't care. And I'm a bit shocked to see you rant at a person that simply suggested Firefox's JS engine may not be as performant as Chrome's.

Plus DRM and possibly other things Google is not telling us. It is a propriety browser distributed as a binary, effectively closed-source, so there is no way for us to know. Chromium! = Chrome and more people who realize that (and vocalize it) the better.
