My Intel i7-4790K is able to run this at 1080p and 30 fps (specifically 60 with drops to 30), on a build of Chromium that has hardware acceleration disabled.

I don't know if this is thanks to the speed of the app or Chromium's software renderer or just (semi-)modern CPUs, but I am super impressed. I had no idea you could do something like this without a GPU!

Edit: Whoops, I lied! I knew something had to be wrong here, so I checked. GPU Compositing is disabled. However, chrome://gpu reads "WebGL2: Hardware accelerated but at reduced performance" (whatever that means).

When I fully disable hardware acceleration, performance dips to something in the range of 1 fps. So, basically what you'd expect, and a lot less interesting!



It runs quite well on a phone too. Impressive.


Indeed quite usable on a Nokia 7 Plus from 2018, which doesn't happen always, even though GL ES 3.0 represents 2011 GPUs designs.


Ya iPhone 7 Plus here, it works perfectly well and is very smooth.


Flawless on Pixel 4 (Firefox)


On Mull (Firefox fork in android ) it says Webgl 2 is missing.

On Fennec in android it works flawlessly.


It runs flawlessly smooth on Safari on a MacBook Air with M1!
