Crashing Safary on the new iPad

The only "scrolling effect" I see in either Chrome or Firefox is that the page scrolls. That's not particularly awesome.

Edit: ah, it's not a scrolling effect, it's a click effect. Click any of the blog posts and it will appear to "shift the screen" into the article you clicked.

There's a huge banner at the top of the page which does a weird perspective moving scroll thing. I can't describe it, but scrolling the page makes the pseudo-3d banner "spin".

EDIT: Chrome on snow leopard.

Yeah, still not seeing it. That banner is pretty well static in both Firefox 11.0 and Chromium 17.0.963.79 on Ubuntu. (I also tried rekonq but I neither expected nor got anything out of it.)

Cool looking but it just slows the site down. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

Crashes mobile Safari on iPhone 4.

Absolutely gorgeous on Chrome for Mac.

After the slide effect, the page always scrolls at the top. Not cool.

That's remarkably chaotic.

And slow, even on pretty decent developer hardware.

Please don't let HTML5/CSS3 turn into DHTML, <BLINK> and <MARQUEE> all over again. Please don't let HTML5/CSS3 turn into DHTML, <BLINK> and <MARQUEE> all over again. Please don't let HTML5/CSS3 turn into DHTML, <BLINK> and <MARQUEE> all over again.

My jokes about a possible NoHTML5-extension is slowly but surely turning more and more into a viable idea.
