Even as a Firefox-user, I would recommend running this in Chrome.

It's clearly optimized for that target, and it's getting a much higher FPS in Chrome than Firefox.

Not optimized, Blink/WebKit doesn't have the Firefox performance issue emphasized in the article:

Works fine in Safari also
Jesus I should have read this comment first.

It completely locked up Firefox on Ubuntu 20.04, rendering a frame and making a single beep sound about once per second. Had to close the browser and force kill some processes to get the TTS to stop.

I had a beeping issue on Firefox 81 running on Windows 10. The weird thing was, the beeping noise continued even after I closed Firefox. There were some OS updates pending installation, so I just chose to reboot/install instead of troubleshoot further.
