Tired of smooth scaling in today's browsers? Well you can help with the push for browser wide support for custom interpolation modes.

A few browsers already support this:

Firefox 3.6+ (and its derivatives) using:

image-rendering: -moz-crisp-edges;

Internet Explorer using this:

-ms-interpolation-mode: nearest-neighbor;

Only browsers left are Chrome, Safari, and possibly Opera. (Not sure if Opera already supports this.)

Good thing is that Chrome and Safari both run on the webkit browser and with the upcoming CSS3 standards this is
chance to get something like this implemented.

I can't wait to see something like this:

image-rendering: -webkit-crisp-edges;
-webkit-interpolation-mode: nearest-neighbor;

Support the push here:
