What this page is telling me is designers at The Google have rediscovered what mid-90's UX already figured out.
Also, nice doodad cursor thing, guys, but maybe next time you don't add things like that for their own sake. I swear it seems at least a hair slower than the native cursor.
a hair slower? I drag it from one side of the screen to the other and get 4-6 frames despite my monitor being 240fps. Perhaps its just more engineering to push people off firefox?
Didn't seem nearly that bad to me on Firefox. It's fairly smooth; just kind of laggy, but in a way where it was hard to tell whether it's an optical illusion. Otherwise doesn't appear to have any fewer or more frames when swiping around than the OS cursor.
