Reply to this commentThis experiment doesn't work very well for me and I use chrome. The 'ball' popup kept getting stuck to the computer's 'pong' popup. I couldn't pull it off either. The "Brower Pong" experiment is the same concept and works a little better for me, it might for you too.
Reply to this commentThe computer may be a cheater but you can cheat too. Just control your paddle by dragging the window with your paddle using your mouse. I love getting the ball stuck in the computer's paddle. If you want a challenge, minimize the window with the ball (or even the computer's paddle if you want to be completely blind).
Reply to this commentthis rocks....!!! but the computer is a cheater...!!! the computer controls the ball which is so unfair!!!
Reply to this commentDon't care about the last thing a wrote, I'm already addicted :)
Reply to this commentThe ball stuck on the paddle with chrome and with firefox, but with Opera it worked, with sound and all! Great idea, but I don't think I will use it that much...
Reply to this commentGreat idea. Works at a playable speed on my computer. Would be nice if you could win though :P
Reply to this commentCool. I'm using Chrome, but the ball got stuck on the right-handle paddle and wouldn't come free...

Reply to this commentThis sucks u can't even beat the computer let alone hit the ball.
Reply to this commentNooo! I have seen the future of pop-up advertising, and it is not good!
Reply to this commentDoesn't start properly on a multi monitor setup - my paddle was a whole screen behind the scoring line! Pretty slow on my machine too, but it is a bit of an old grinder.
Reply to this commentIt is kind of cool but it freezes constancely Does it work if you have dailup moden because it load and free my PC constancely
Reply to this commentCool concept but practicality is an issue. It's not the browser. I use Google Chrome. It's more or less that scoring is impossible. How many points does it take to win anyway. I could be up all night trying to score one point. But it is a very impressive use of technology. A fun game. Kudos to the creator!
Reply to this commentvery cool! it glitches occasionally, but other than that it is a great remake of an old popular game!
Reply to this commentIf it doesn't work in Firefox, chances are you've disabled the "Move or resize existing windows" option in Options>Content>Enable Javascript>Advanced.
I like this game though, it's unique and awesome.
Reply to this commentInteresting...
Nice concept, but practicality however is another issue.
Reply to this commentYeah, don't expect anything to work whatsoever unless you're using Chrome.
Reply to this commentNice idea, but does not work well, at least in FF3.5. I couldn't know where the ball is.
Reply to this commentI am using Safari 4 and the window holding the ball is slowly getting bigger and it gets to the point that you cant even play it any more. I am NOT complaining, I just think it's retarded that it only works on Chrome.
Reply to this commentFFS. The name of this site is CHROME EXPERIMENTS. Don't bitch about it if you're not using Google Chrome.
Reply to this commentit doesn't work as well in other browsers because other browsers suck.
that's the point of the site, to show off how much better their browser works.
