Ouch, this page absolutely destroys my browser (up-to-date Firefox on Windows 7.) 20 seconds of unresponsiveness on load, followed by very choppy scrolling and animation.
- gavinpc 12y agoThe worst part is that it's not the article, but the template that's killing it. I love the visualizations, but I think the author needs to reconsider including the parallax trickery on inner pages. There is enough to look at, and, when it's not busy crashing your browser, this kind of eye candy is a distraction.
- jayflux 12y agoThis crashed my browser for about 10 seconds too, up-to-date Chrome on Windows 7. I agree about the parallax stuff, its great, but when you're sitting there waiting for your browser to come back alive it sort of puts you off visiting the site again
- jonahx 12y agomy new macbook pro got too hot for my lap within about 30 seconds....
- Cowicide 12y agoWeird, the old MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard I'm using with old Safari 5.1.x didn't even rev up the fans or anything. Which OS version and browser are you using?
- anon4 12y agoMine just died. Firefox 29.0.1 on Linux. I had to disable webgl.
- saidajigumi 12y agoFWIW, no problems at all on FF 30, Macbook Pro, OS X 10.9.3. Responsiveness and framerates were good, and no unusually high CPU logged for the entire time I was reading the article.
- e12e 12y agoFor me this doesn't render correctly -- the visual transitions just flicker by. Tested with Iceweasel (Firefox) 29.0 and 30.0 as well as Chromium 35.0.1916.15 on Debian Wheezy. Renders almost correctly on Android Chrome on my Note3 (but the screen is a little cramped, so while the animation/transitions work, parts of the text is garbled/layered on top of other text).
