Panorama rendering issues in Chrome: Many users are experiencing slow, laggy performance when viewing Panorama files in Google Chrome. Unfortunately, Chrome does not allow WebGL rendering for local offline files and must fall back to the HTML5 Canvas element when viewing Pano files from a local machine. If you're testing your Panorama files offline, or sending them directly to clients, for now please use IE, Safari, or Firefox to view the files locally.
Note: This issue only affects local offline files, Chrome can render Pano files that have been uploaded to a web server without any performance issues.
