* Note 1: Opera interacts poorly with web-socket-js. After two
disconnects the browser tab or Flash often hang. Although Javascript
is faster than Firefox 3.5, the high variability of web-socket-js
performance results in overall performance being lower. Middle mouse
clicks and keyboard events need some work to work properly under
Opera. Also, Opera does not have support for setting the cursor
style url to a data URI scheme, so cursor pseudo-encoding is
disabled.
* Note 2: Firefox 4.0 Beta does not provide a direct way to accept
SSL certificates via WebSockets. You can work around this by
navigating directly to the WebSockets port using 'https://' and
accepting the certificate. Then return to noVNC and connect
normally.
* Note 3: Browsers using WebKit build 66396 through 68867
(Chrome/Chromium build 57968 through 61278) have a Canvas rendering
bug. The WebKit bug is <a
href="https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46319">#46319</a>.
The noVNC bug is <a
href="http://github.com/kanaka/novnc/issues/#issue/28">#28</a>.
