Alright, alright. Well it WORKS in the new Firefox... But the image zoom plugin for Firefox is not compatible yet, and using Pixel Joint's - and + buttons makes the pixel art blurry as shown here... -------------  |

I think this has been brought up elsewhere, but I dunno if anything was concluded. I'll edit with links, hopefully.
Nice self-esteem, BTW. :P ------------- http://pixelmonkey.ensellitis.com">

Ahhh they joys of "better zooming". :(
Reminds me of all the arcade game collections that ruin the art to fit my TV. ------------- http://www.shmup-dev.com/forum/">

Doesn't really work for safari either, but you can always copy it, paste it, and zoom in paint or some other program. ------------- |

The Firefox version I'm using is the 3.0 alpha, not the latest release of 2.0 I used to use 2.0 with Image Zoom and it worked fine. However, looks like the upcoming release of Firefox is gonna stink up pixel resizing. >< For now I'll stick to copy and pasting like Aleiav suggested. ------------- |

That is a feature called 'bilinear filtering'. Sadly, I too am suffering the same thing atm. Apparently there is a way to alter the source code to set the default to 'off' for that filtering thingy but have as of yet been able to alter mine (mac). I posted on the mozilla forum and most people don't understand why I or anyone would want to see sharp pixels  There was a long thread with some great comments/explanations/solutions a while ago here. I have searched all over including page by page but can't find it anywhere. Sedge had a news item regarding this too, can't find that either. ------------- |

This stuff only works well when the subject is already photographic in nature or has many many colors. Pixel art is being trampoled in the persuit of picture quality. :( I need a hug. ------------- http://www.shmup-dev.com/forum/">

Well, SVGs are supported natively by Firefox/Opera and have plugins for Safari/IE :o
Yeah, I use Opera now (Firefox is hogging a lot of memory), and the 'bilinear filtering' pisses me off :( -------------
