Humble Mozilla Bundle, WebGL-compatible Browsers

The Humble Mozilla Bundle: Powered by asm.js -

Mozilla unveiled Humble Mozilla Bundle, which lets you play games in a browser without downloads or plug-ins. The games can be played in any WebGL-compatible browser, so that includes Firefox and Chrome. And for the next two weeks, users can pay whatever they want for DRM-free versions of a handful of games. The Bundle, and the pay-what-you-want deal, is the result of a partnership between Humble Bundle and Mozilla.
