Iceweasel (at least the version in Debian stable) works perfectly well if you set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 2 in about:config. I use surf, with zoomto96dpi set to true, most of the time. There are a few small problems with it, though: - Form elements are twice as big as they should be. This must be a webkitgtk bug, and may be fixed in newer versions. - Zooming images (not webpages) larger than the window they blow up to 4x the size they should. Another webkitgtk bug that isn't worth the nightmare of looking through the code to fix. Also, it's your own fault for using surf instead of sxiv for image browsing ;) - Text dimensions can be slightly different to what the designer expected, so a very badly designed webpage may be imperfectly laid out. This is also true with firefox. Other than that, and occasional games like hedgewars, my high resolution monitor has been nothing but a joy since I got it. Oh, and I set the DPI correctly using a small file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ ; see https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/ChromebookPixel#Display for details. Nick
