My big complaint about switching to something like Chrome OS was playing immersive games in a browser. Appears the recent development effort in browsers has heard my griping.
- hapless 15y agoThis demo fails using mozilla.com's Firefox 4 build on my very vanilla core i5 Linux PC with Intel graphics. It's certainly not going to run on e.g. cr48, which has considerably less power to work with. "Unfortunately, while your browser supports WebGL, your video drivers may be too old. To view any of the demos tagged with WebGL, try updating your drivers at NVIDIA, AMD, and Intel." That's the great thing about standards: even if you choose the right standard, there may not be any usable implementations.
- jsprinkles 15y agoThe important part is the direction. I have always been a naysayer for the "browser is the platform", but this is convincing in terms of potential. Finally.
- JoshTriplett 15y agoFirefox unfortunately has an explicit whitelist on Linux for drivers it allows for WebGL, because they didn't want to hit driver/GL bugs that crashed the browser. More unfortunately, the whitelist in Firefox 4 doesn't include the Intel driver, even though it works fine and doesn't crash. I worked with upstream to provide the necessary information about the driver, and Firefox 5 should have the Intel driver on the whitelist. In the meantime, try running "MOZ_GLX_IGNORE_BLACKLIST=1 firefox" from the command line.
