Default Browser Smooth Rotations

Ok, so I noticed this a couple of days ago and thought I would share it, sorry if its already been posted

Instructions
-Open browser
-Type 'about:debug' into the url bar
-Press menu
-Press settings
-Scroll all the way to the bottom
-About 5th from the bottom you will see 'smooth rotations'
-Press the tick
-Now go into a web page and turn your phone sideways, the page should wobble a bit
Done I think its a nice addition to the browser

Thumbs up Nice Find!

Thats a very nice find. How did you work that out!? Not as smooth as it should be but no doubt its just a feature in development hence the trick to enabling it... possibly a work in progress? Is there any way of enabling smoother rotations for main screens as well?
