I tried to use it ~1 month ago, it wasn't a great experience. I tried playing video and several games on Kongregate, and almost nothing worked, except Flash ads (only few games showed anything similar to loading screen -- most of them just didn't start at all). But the most problematic thing was its slowness. Even small almost static ads brought entire Firefox to its knees. I am looking forward for this project, but I really hope the developers will solve the performance problems before shipping it in stable Firefox.
- sabret00the 13y agoA lot changes in a month in terms of software development. Try it again and let us know if it still sucks by your standards.
- trycatch 13y agoI've compiled new version from git, but still literally nothing except ads work. I've tried various games from Kongregate, Armor Games and Newgrounds, including very old ones, various sites with Flash video, various sites with Flash charts -- nothing. And there are still very serious slowdowns even if Shumway is not on screen.
- captainmuon 13y agoSame thing here. I can't run silly stick man games from ~2004 on my laptop I bought 3 years ago with this. Just like PDF.js, it's brilliant on my desktop, but unusable on my trusty old netbook (that could do this things prefectly well with native code).
