I fail to see the reason of this experiment's existance. You can achieve motion illusion by preloading images and use a simple setTimeout to go through them. But still I don't know why you would want to do that since we have animated gifs and videos...

it is great and it can be made more powerful if the background of the images are also changed and which gives the feel of real movement

You realize that adding "Don't run in Safari" underneath just makes those of us running Safari wonder "Why not?"

It does work in Safari so long as you hold down Cmd/Ctrl when you click on the button. I'll let you discover what happens when you don't...

Works perfectly fine with Midori too.

Just need to focus the tabs and press "left" or "right" keys (ctrl+left and ctrl+right isn't implemented yet).

I don't see this as being particularly special for Chrome. I'm sure most browsers can perform this trick pretty easily, even if they don't support tabs. If you have only the browser open, I can see someone being able to press and hold (both) alt+tab and get the same results; though it would be a strain on their processor. ;)
