That feeling when your cell phone is better than someone's desktop.
Firefox yes. Safari no.

Chrome though would start opening everything on Google apps.

Hmm. I only buy X220s (almost 6 years old now) (because they are strong, long (15 hrs+ under linux) battery life and replaceable battery etc etc) and they are very cheap (I picked up a few for $70 per system) and was prepared for crash & burn but actually it runs this demo under Linux Chrome without issues. What GPU do you have?
Oops, also just realized there were some 4096 textures in there. I've resized them down.
Runs flawlessly on my 2015 MBP on it's native display.

Drag the window over to my cinema display, and holy 4fps and crash batman!

Interesting, could be the particle effects. They fall back to CPU if your machine doesn't support float textures.
