I get a "A mutation operation was attempted on a database that did not allow mutations." when I try to start any match.

The fact that this can now be run in a browser on a laptop rather than a high end gaming rig is indeed amazing.

This is how news site will look like in 5 years (tech wise not appearance wise). Good luck running adblock on it.

It was already possible in 2011, but alas politics.

Controls don't work on FF74 / Webrender / Wayland.

The browser reports the mouse as captured, but mouse movement and movement keys have no effect. Click to shoot does work though.

(Chrome works fine)
