Nice idea but windowless flash are also more cpu consuming, so ads would use more cpu. I wonder what's the environmental impact of a change like this would be ;

What's strange was that performance was my original thought when seeing that title, flash is breaking the web is so many ways.
I'm not sure it would change anything for Chrome though, the plugin in a process seems to use the windowless model by default. I'm not sure about that, but the rendering speed while doing my experimentations with http://swiffout.com http://swiffout.com seemed to suggest that.
- jamesjyu 16y agoYeah, Flash is just broken in many ways :) We have to weigh the performance impact against making sites simply unusable. I've seen so many times where I just can't click dropdown menus or lightbox content because Flash covers interfaces.
