A comment on Shadow DOM.

Entirely valid complaints.

The question is if CSS+HTML+JS can make the leap to convincing near-native-UI somehow (I'm also dubious, but it's possible; something built using canvas and webgl in a manner very much like what pixi.js is currently doing; with all the 'responsiveness' of a native application, and barely using html/css at all seems possible).

...or if people will just continue the current trend towards native applications to replace generic multi-platform websites.

I use a MacBook Air 2012 with Chrome, and couldn't scroll the page. It is not ready for my laptop.

My $2000 late-2013 rMBP suffers from the same problem. My 6 year old $800 Dell 1920x1200 laptop doesn't.

I guess that it's a MacOS problem.
