suppose it depends on whether the arc welder makes it into the chromium source.

Is it just me or should *most* aps be written as webpages anyway?

Very interesting though.

some people seems to want to go to great lengths so they can waste time playing angry birds on a PI!

Looks like they are playing angry mods already.

Has anybody tried it? If it works similarly to ARChon then you'll probably just get a WebGL error on the Pi. Update: For those interested, I can confirm that this does not work on the Pi2B with chromium-browser (Version 41.0.2272.76 Ubuntu 15.04) on Ubuntu Mate.

1000pts.

If *most* had been *all*, 1 million points.

The browser is the most universal interface. This is pretty amazing, considering what a mess css, cross-browser compatibility, and media queries are. Imagine if html was actually interpreted 100% consistently? This wouldn't even be a question... but it's getting there.

Good luck with those performant real time browsers based apps...

Yes, it depends on what your including here. I think, however, that anything you'd want to put on an android device can be done on a browser. Fine, so most.
