I might just ditch Firefox because of this webpage. A fresh session of Ffx15 goes up to 1.5 GB memory usage, pushes everything into swap and brings my whole OS to a grinding halt until I kill it. In other words this link is basically a very effective DoS. In Chromium it works fine. Am I the only one having this problem?

Which channel are you on? I'm running the latest beta and it works fine for me. If you're on stable then I can see how it would be causing you some issues, especially if you have FireBug installed.

Interesting design concept - but a horrible implementation of it. You can't just go and load a thousand divs and not expect a wide variety of performance issues across all the different platforms. You need to have a tile manager or something behind the scenes the same way that Google maps does, especially when targetting smaller consumer devices with limited hardware specs like tablets and phones. * iOS5 - with an ip…

Chrome on Linux (with 16GB RAM) - works fine.

Chrome on Android 4.0 (Galaxy Tab): Takes about 30 seconds and then I just get some text and a picture of the car. Chose 'Request Desktop Site' and it is fairly close to desktop experience. Sometimes you get bits of white page as it brings the images in.

Builtin browser on Android 4.1 (not Chrome): I had to request desktop site again. Almost usable. There are always images displayed, but drawing after using your finger may take a second or two.

Safari iPod Touch 4G iOS 5.1 - sporadically somewhat usable for one touch interaction.

Sorry but the driving wheel is in the opposite side.

It's on the correct side when you're in Japan. Our steering wheels are on the right, and we drive on the left, just like England.

And we, the English, thank you for putting the indicator stalk on the right of the steering wheel. Seriously; that's a major factor in me buying a car.

I presume Safari was the same as Chrome?

Not sure. My safari is completely broken at the moment (my fault!)

Thats fascinating that Chrome on Android is capable of delivering the desktop experience of this concept even with the limited hardware specs of the Galaxy Tab.

I wonder whats so different under the hood of Safari Mobile on iOS 5 vs Chrome on Android 4 to deliver such different results, maybe its a hardware thing with tablets vs phones?

Safari 6.01 Webkit nightly build worked fine.

I had this problem too. Looks like this thing relies on browser implementation details to run properly.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

"I don't actually know any html, just how to click 'view source' in Chrome" That's a bit strange for someone that visits hacker news!

Then let this be the moment where you realize not everyone on HN is a web developer. Some of them are painters.

...and some are saxophonists.

Wow, this is atrocious on so many levels. 30mb of jpg files? The inner web development nerd in me believes there is a better more efficient way to do this. The length of the page is ridiculously long to scroll and unless you have a Mac with a Magic Mouse and smooth scrolling and not a Windows machine (like I use) the scrolling is super jerky.

Amazing visuals. I have no idea if the idea scales. Technically might be a bit PITA. The sensation of time. Passing. Wait, what? The modular decomposition. Birdseye flight sequnece. Functional redundancy. An innovation communication language? Dunno. Pity about the ad-part =D Edit: pls, though. not in the wrong hands.

>> The modular decomposition.

>> Functional redundancy.

What?
