It is funny that you are trying to take credit for how your browser scores when you did not develop any of those features yourself and all you did was turning some option from its default "false" and changing it to "true".

There is a reason that Chrome, Opera etc keep those features disabled by default: They are not totally ready yet and they are to be used only for experimenting and not for public facing websites. And for this reason enabling those features is totally USELESS because no public website will ever use features that are not supported by at least the majority of their users' browsers. Personally I would not use a feature in a website unless it has about 95% support, and even in cases of progressive enhancement nobody would use a feature that has nearly zero browser support.

It’s your brain that is useless… comment not about things you know nothing about. :)

I know very well what I am talking about. With Chrome (or Opera) visit: chrome://flags/ and then enable: Experimental Web Platform features:

But as I said you don't need to do this and you should not do this. You gain nothing, and there might be a bug with these features (which is why they are marked "experimental") which can cause problems.

Congratulations… you can now enjoy “experimental features” in Chrome that have been working perfectly for like 5 years, such as this one…

So now you admit that all you did was to enable experimental features, something which can be done in several other browsers with just a simple setting.

Enjoy those features in what way? Show me a mainstream website that uses features that are not supported (enabled by default) by the most popular browsers.

Also in your "Bequer Tools" you claim that the results are "cross-browser", which is a lie when you include there experimental features that would actually work in basically no browser.

Look Sotos, if I really wanted to crank it up I could take it to 72% but what I enabled to 65% is perfectly safe, I assure you.

As for "CSS3 Machines" I haven't touched it in years and today it would need a total rewrite due to many changes in CSS so I pulled it off the market… so I’m not gonna get into arguments over a withdrawn program now! :?

Oh wow! Thanks for that Sotos.

I can actually enable everything! :lol:

I won't though because there is probably a good reason why they are not enabled by Opera so I think I will go with that.Plus half the things I know hardly nothing about anyway so I probably do not need them. :lol:

Don’t get excited too soon Paphidoudi because I’m not done with you yet!

Now let’s see you make this power-move in your crappy Opera... :)

I can actually. I can also surf pages and watch videos at the same time. 8)

have you heard of Video pop out?

Not only that, but windows let's me work on Word, Excel, or Powerpoint or anything I like whilst I watch a video, or Netflix, or Stan or surf for some news or other social media. :lol:

Regards (shit I'm in email mode) :lol:

Hey Get Real,

I am currently watching a documentary called "The Circus" on Stan, which is about US president Trump.

Stan is just another Netflix streaming company.

But I am watching at whilst posting this, or sending an email or doing whatever I like.

It really is brilliant mate. 8)

Who said guys can't multi-task? :lol:
