[quote author="Vass" date="1293239349"]Hello Chetan, Mad Scientist badge is flash movie on site and on extension too. I'm really don't know why it happens. :) and I can't review it, because I'm not Mad Scientist ;)[/quote]

[quote author="mariusg" date="1302595386"]We tried making it as an animated gif, it was horrible :)[/quote]
how about html5 to the rescue ? :P

[quote author="Andre" date="1302595708"]Not sure what the supported list of browsers for DevNet is, but I would guess it includes browsers that are not as modern as to support HTML 5 features. [/quote]
html5 unsupported browsers can always default to flash, only few IE versions I guess. I think most of us are already onto the latest greatest browsers and if someone is not, they should upgrade..
-
[quote author="Andre" date="1302596613"]This extension is for Chrome anyway, and Chrome is as up to date as it gets, I guess. :-)[/quote]
yes for chrome extn it would anyways work with html5, but the object in question is the animated MS flash badge, now I proposed that be redone with html5 instead of flash (and flash be used only for the older browsers)

[quote author="ucomesdag" date="1302555233"]Vass I hate you!!!
This damn thing makes me check QtDevNet all day long :-)[/quote]I have the same experience... :) But when I got a new machine I really missed this extension from my Chrome so I have installed on the first day.

About flash mad scientist badge in extension. I've asked Vass to change it to png. Flash is not fully stable at linux and it sometimes brokes up.

Yep, confirmed about restarting. But I've also updated browser after it.

Something is wrong with the plugin. It behaves so badly, that I have had to disable it completely. Look at this screenshot:

The memory usage is through the roof. What's more, is that clicking the icon yields this:
