But why would they blacklist my 2600xt? Webgl was always working. (on windows)
I think you need a driver newer than June or July 2010?
I have Catalyst 11.2 and a radeon 4670 but I have to force webgl when I enable native opengl (better performance and feature support than ANGLE) but it's no biggie I guess.
On WebGL Aquarium, why "Press L for sharks with frikken lasers." is not working? When I press 'L' nothing happens and in the error console it says: Error: uncaught exception: TypeError: window.wrappedJSObject.navigator.__defineGetter__ is not a function (error was caused by ImageTweak 0.21 but lasers still don't work)

I don't know of such a feature. (Is it the google wegbl aquarium I'm thinking of?)

I think it should since it translates opengl to d3d first.
64bit on windows isn't officially supported yet so it doesn't get much love. You can probably force it to use native OpenGL as long as you have decent graphics hardware/drivers (nvidia/ati).

Use the mouse to change various settings. Click the * to bring up more settings. Press SPACE to change the view. Press L for sharks with frikken lasers. Looks best from an outside view.
Works in Chrome.
Edit: it appears that Firefox doesn't capture keyboard events because SPACE to change the view also doesn't work (on Chrome it does).

Yes much better fps with that set to true here, on web aquarium, using this I get around 50fps with a 1000 fish, only 21 fps with ANGLE NVIDIA Corporation -- GeForce 9800 GT/PCI/SSE2/3DNOW! -- 3.3.0 (OpenGL?)

You'd think they could just blacklist the offending drivers though since the performance boost is so huge? Not got any crashes on about 20+ WebGL tests so far with 258.96 driver.
