What Hacker News says?
I think this has to do with the fact that the SVG graphics are embedded as <img> instead of just embedding them directly into the document as <svg>. If you load them directly into Chrome, the SVG renders fine. http://voormedia.com/blog/2012/10/creating-svg-vector-graphi... Maybe this has something to do with Chrome's process of rendering this as a bitmap? (Random guess)

HN discussionMost of the SVGs of this page don't test at all the described features, they're just PNGs or JPEGs embedded in SVG files. The author didn't even open its SVGs generated by Illustrator: a drop shadow in Illustrator does not mean a drop shadow in the generated SVG! For example, look at the source of the "mesh" test, it's a beautiful embedded base64 PNG: http://voormedia.com/blog/2012/10/creating-svg-vector-graphi...
