But where can I try it out in my browser?

EDIT: https://cssdoom.wtf/

Works smoothly in Firefox. But the default key mapping is busted: fire at Alt means that it opens and closes the menu in Firefox with each press. Also, Alt + left arrow ends the game and goes back in history.

Interestingly, it was more choppy in Chromium.

I could not find a key for moving sideways ("strafing").

All in all, quite mind-boggling.

    Firefox's WebRender is truly a great creation. While Chrome is faster at most things especially involving JS, Firefox puts so much of its rendering on the GPU so moving elements around is incredibly fast.

  • Strafing is implemented on A and D at least, but having one hand on the arrows to turn and WASD to move is a bizarre mix of modern and original controls

  • There are some new key-trap ApIs that can handle that, IIRC FF don't handle that part as well as Chrome.
