Browser Support
---------------
### Browser Support
I only currently test under Linux. Here are the current results:
#### Linux (Ubuntu 9.04)

Chrome 5.0.375.29 beta: Works great. Native WebSockets support. Very
fast.
*
firefox 3.5: Works well. Large full-color images are slow mostly due
to flash WebSockets emulator overhead.

Chrome 5.0.375.29: Works great. Very fast. Native WebSockets.

Firefox 3.5: Works well. Large full-color images are slow mostly due
to web-socket-js overhead.

Opera 10.60: Works. Rendering performance is between firefox 3.5 and
Chrome. However flash WebSockets emulator interaction causes overall
performance to be lower than firefox 3.5 and causes occasional
hangs.

Safari 5.0: Works. Fast. Native WebSockets support. However 'wss://'
(SSL/TLS) does not work because client sends a strange handshake.

Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8: Non-starter: not even basic Canvas
support.
### Integration
The client is designed to be easily integrated with existing web
structure and style.
