Now I don't want to sound like I'm complaining too much about a good thing, but instead of the error message that pops up when you're on a firefox/chrome browser that has Flash disabled by default, could you have MTF access that the popup that changes "this site" to allow Flash to run instead of crashing the browser? It'd be nice to just go to tetrisfriends.com and have it work rather than disable the add-on, enable Flash, enable MTF, and then be able to play.
Alright, now if you have flash disabled, it shows a message telling you so. It also handles it when it's "click to play".

Mozilla (and Google) approved the addon unusually quickly this time, so the changes are already live.

MTF 4.7.5 is released.

New features:
• Downscaling

Downscaling pushes laglessness to its limits by pixelating everything. You will be able to tell the difference, but it sacrifices enough visuals that this feature is options. To enable it:
• Click on the "MTF" icon in the top right
• Click "Downscale (requires refresh)".
• Refresh the page.
Update: Downscale no longer requires refresh.

It may take some getting used to, and it's up to you whether it's worth it. If you need to see what's going on (talking to people in Arena), you can always switch back.

MTF 4.7.6 is released.

By Blink's request, the downscale button is now a slider that lets you choose how pixelated the game is. Move the slider all the way to the left to disable downscaling (default).

MTF 4.9.7 is released.

Summary of new features since the last time features were announced:

• Press [ to restart the game in single-player game modes (key is adjustable in the options pane). The [ key was chosen because it's right next to P, which pauses the game.
• Remove more ads from the home page
• Scaling is 1:1 if in arena lobby or between games
• Full-screen is an adjustable option now in the options panel

In response to a trademark complaint from Blue Planet Software for Tetris Holding LLC for using the word "Tetris" without permission, it's called "Minimal Tetromino Friends" now.

Also, it works again (until the end of May).
