In my Firefox (v43, El Capitan, Retina screen, Electrolysis-enabled), it looks completely pixelated: http://i.imgur.com/1yMk1e5.png http://i.imgur.com/1yMk1e5.png

  Speaking personally, I kind of like the effect!

  It looks this way on Chrome for Android as well. I thought this was the intended effect.

  Yeah, I thought it was a joke. I'm glad the grandparent pointed out that it could be a browser issue.

  For me, Firefox renders boxy pixels on OS X and smooth gradient on Windows. I filed a Firefox bug for this difference in scaling: https://bugzil.la/1238304 https://bugzil.la/1238304

Yeah, seems like it is bilinear interpolation in Firefox and bicubic in Chrome. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicubic_interpolation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicubic_interpolation

  It looks like Safari uses bilinear as well.
