Doom is kind of a pain because:

    * afaik I'm capped at 4 FPS (just how often you can update tabs)
    * more of the screen is likely to update on each frame, which requires way more "turning canvases into data urls to update favicons," which is expensive with my current implementation (although I wasn't aware of offscreencanvas, which might help here)



To be fair, doom is also a pain on a calculator[0]/pregnancy test[1]/milling machine[2]/touch bar[3]/PDF document[4]! I think that's part of the fun!

I absolutely love this stuff... I sort of think Doom at 4FPS is... juuuuust in the realm of playable if you've played it before haha
