is this heaven?
In what version? It doesn't work for me in Firefox 28, just displays a play bar in a black screen with no video.
Also, is this format potentially more susceptible to embedded viruses than more prevalent formats since it hasn't been used a lot? It's scary to choose something from 4chan as a new standard.

The extension is working great. The first page has some frame skipping, but that's to be expected with all of the webm's being loaded at once. Great work Andrex.

And then people like me that uses Firefox can go to hell?
Sweeeeeeeeet. Just went back to the first page and it's fucking bliss.

Damn, it looks great on Chrome. Will wait for the Firefox port though.
Although it does cause my CPU to melt when there's more then a few on screen.

New extension is godly. Went back to the first page (100ppp) and it was a choppy mess, though.

Ha, I just did more or less the same thing myself. It really does kick your PCs ass though.
Go back a page or two, I posted the tools to make .webms.
Oh oh oh, it's magic, you know.

the only problem is the amount of CPU usage that webms seem to use with the extension. I think the solution would be to allow the loop to start when you click on the webm, then re-click to stop the loop.
Can that be a reality?

Can you imagine? Thirty-fifty wifs with sound playing as soon as you load a page?
There'd have to be some kinda feature where they don't load until they're on your screen, and the unload when they go off it.

alot of the gifs posted here came from 4chan, where audio is disabled.

Seriously. My CPU usage is at 100% too on the first page, and the files run slower.
The quality still curbstomps GIFs, though, and they work fine when popped into another tab separately.

Well I'd like sound, just have them muted by default. Then if you want to hear the audio, the user can unmute that one.

there has to be a way to optimize them so they do not loop unless you click on them.
someone please optimize to save my CPU
Not if all the .webms auto-load and slag everyone's computers
when that happens, less people will be on GAF
so less GAF server load = less downtime
- if only it was that simple. lol

Someone with JavaScript skills is needed, because I can't do it on my own. Turning off autoplay locks me on a still of the first frame.
They're not embedded because he saved them into .mp4 format instead of .webm.

Holy crap, you can save a file as webm straight from VLC.
