The sorting-algorithms.com demos involve pixel-perfect graphics.  I think even
a high-quality video codec will introduce artifacts.  So at this point for that
application, lossless GIF animations are the best option for the author.

(I have no strong opinion on the actual bug, except to note that someone came
into #chromium and wondered why were were "slower" than Firefox due to this
issue.  But I can see from the prior discussion that both options are
reasonable.)
