Looks really nice!

Seems to work better on Firefox than on Chrome

This emulator was optimized for Firefox and its JIT compiler. One or two years ago it was at least three times faster on Firefox than on Chrome. What unfortunately always happens with extreme optimization is that every small change in hardware or software can lead to massive performance problems.
