HTML 5 performance on Firefox?

Question

I tried this sample here:

http://9elements.com/io/projects/html5/canvas/

After a few minutes, Firefox slows down so much I can't even popup any menu. When I closed the tab, Firefox comes back to normal again.

So is HTML 5 really a good choice now ?

Answer 1

it ran very well for me - both firefox and chrome, saying that - chrome was smooother, although you'd expect it with the weight of FF on your system.

But you bring up a good point. I've heard some people say Flash is dead and HTML5 is the new Flash - and I'm not sure how they consider the new HTML5 as a comparison. I've also heard this is due to flash being closed and proprietary. But how does this differ than HTML5 in act?

Perhaps a little off topic but it is relative to the point, HTML5 is a wonderful magic and with it allows a greatly wanted upgrade to the now flagging HTML markup. It'll take some time before browsers catch up but thats only an issue now.

When was the last time HMTL got an upgrade? 97? 1998? so roughly 10 years since HTML caught up, so Browsers have 10 years toget to grips with HTML5

So ya. HTML5 is wonderful and I love and its good to get to know it, cus in 2 years - it'll be the standard.
