It's good that they added 60FPS support, but I really dislike the fact it's Chrome-only. I hope there will be a way to get around this limitation. Otherwise after some time we'll see more and more services that work only with Google Chrome, only with Google+ login and only with Google Search, capable of storing data only on Google Drive, prompting you to change your phone to Google Android if you use anything else (as they do it with Chrome now), and in general forcing you to use exclusively Google products if you get caught by their ecosystem.

Will this finally push Ubisoft to make 60FPS a standard feature in all future video games!?
It's a joke.

Yeah I get your point. The deal is that if you *know* what hardware your game will be working with, what are its limitations and what your game will be going to look like, it's easier to program against given frame rate. You can set your game logic to tick at given rate, and set redraws at this rate. There is one particular case where developers decided to use this practice and I think it was the best possible decision - Street Fighter (and other games like that). The game runs at 60 frames - both logic and graphics, you know how each frame may look like as you have limited options, and they have precisely calculated the hit boxes and all interactions against it. It means there will be no surprises when players play it at tournament. For shooters etc? I think it's just laziness (aka cost prioritization).

Chrome-only? Sure, by extension, Opera will get this aswell (I use Opera). But what about Firefox users lol? I dislike Firefox, but that's weird.

Google will have the new Flash.

Dunno why they bothered. Human eye can't see past 24fps.

Makes me nauseous.

Chrome only? I have no problem with that. :P

It's on IE11 as well I believe.
It's not going to be exclusive or anything, FF will just not have implemented it yet.

Another example, also couldn't get it to work in IE11, someone else reported it working in FF beta, nada (unless it's aurora).
Edit, seems the forum flash embedding doesn't have 60fps.

I can report it works with Canary Chrome 64.

Nice all I can say it is about time. This is a huge upgrade for Youtube for gamers and reviewers as well as tech reviewers.

H265 please. 60fps is nothing of interest if the quality is subpar.

That's like asking why people get carsick but are fine when driving the car themselves.
Anyway, I don't see this as a huge issue being Chrome-only. Seeing as this is probably not going to work with Flash players, I'm guessing it'd only be a matter of time until the other browsers just implement whatever HTML5 code they're missing to get it to work. Unfortunately, Firefox seems to be pretty far behind. That still can't play 1080p on HTML5.
Does get me to wonder though, how much more bandwidth and disk space google is going to have to give up for this. Also gets me to wonder why Blu Ray never offered 60FPS from the beginning (correct me if I'm wrong).

Psychological thing. When you see motion but you feel the motion in a different direction (or maybe not feel motion at all), your brain confuses this with being dizzy. Dizziness is often (naturally) caused by poisoning. Normally when your system realizes it is poisoned, it tries to purge it, hence the vomiting.
I'm guessing 60FPS videos are the same way. Some people are very sensitive to the extra frames, and they're seeing very smooth motion in a very unnatural way. This is why movies at 24FPS look fine but a 60FPS game can still look choppy - you're supposed to be seeing stuff like motion blurs, which don't always show up in 60FPS videos.

Ugh Chrome only? and i just started using Firefox again...
