Interesting, although I think the "beta" is quite literal. Seems to lack a bit of polish.

The one I was most interested in was the Date Picker, but locks up Chrome (28) and Safari (6) on my machine. http://mozilla.github.io/brick/component/datepicker/demo/ind...

The first example (flip widget) already does exactly nothing on Android.

The date picker actually froze Chrome and slowed everything to a crawl. Way to go Mozilla.

These are UI elements built on top of (a shim for) the coming standard Web Components.

For another Web Components shim check out polymer-project.org along with a small, opinionated framework leveraging Web Components. Especially look at the awesome Sandbox application allowing you to compose web components :)

Really? I'm running the UX nightly and it seems fine

Interesting. In Chrome Canary, the polyfilled text input is working fine, but the native date input is freezing.

Counterpoint: it works perfectly on my Android device (using the standard awesomely-named "Internet" browser).

It slowed firefox-23.0-1.fc19.x86_64 so much, that I thought it froze too.
