Sweet. Does this also mean it'll be easier to support WebAssembly when that's a thing, so that Firefox users will also eventually see performance improvements?
@Hedgehogs4Me Yes, I totally intend to make a WebAssembly build once a usable verison lands in mainline Firefox.
Lesson learned - Stockfish prefers salt water over fresh water.... who knew?
@revoof Hurray! \o/
Out of curiosity, one webassembly lands in mainline firefox will it replace nacl completely (since both chrome and firefox will support webassembly) or are there advantages to nacl over webassembly that make it worth keeping?

@Happy0 I hope that WebAssembly will be able to replace NaCl completely. All the nescessary features (including multi-threading) are planned to be included.
Well, groundbreaking indeed! Great great job you lichess people! I LOVE you!
Here is my report for 6 core AMD Phenom CPU :
Firefox : Usually under 150 knodes/s, sometimes under 100 knodes/s.
Chrome : Consistently over 2150 knodes/s and most of the time over 2500 knodes/s and sometimes just around 3000 knodes/s.
The difference is staggering, chrome gets to the 25th ply in the same time firefox gets to the 18th! And chrome hits 18th depth almost instantly whereas firefox needs around 30 seconds most of the time!

Running an AMD 8-core and getting 3000+knodes consistently, sometimes up to 3500. This is SO much faster now.... love it.
I'm using firefox. Will I gain something in performance by switching to chrome?
@blackzombie please read the post you're commenting on fr.lichess.org/forum/lichess-feedback/groundbreaking-improvement-of-local-analysis
@blackzombie,
Well, if you analyze(local one) a lot, it's now incomparably faster with chrome. It's almost instant up to 18th-20th ply which is more than enough for a quick analyze. However the difference in performance depends on your cpu. You can refer to the first post of thibault for info about that but according to it you should get at least five times faster analyzing times.
I hope that firefox improvement won't be too far away, because I'm using firefox as my main browser for everything.
