Browser-based games were once exclusively seen on web-based gaming (flash) websites which doesn't even require any sign-ups or some personal account information, but it is a different story now. Browser-based games have evolved just like its mainstream (console) video games counterpart. Although there are still browser-based games that does not require any sign ups or personal information details from its users, you can't expect these browser-based games to be as engaging as those seen on social networking site based browser games. Y8 is a perfect example of casual games that is reminiscent of the retro video games with no saves and just mindless fun.

Bigger and badder browser-based games now require a place to store a user's overall gaming progress (or save files) and the best way to do that is through their social networking accounts. This is the reason why besides the standalone official website of these new browser-based games, they also have a social networking site counterparts/version. Facebook and Google Plus are the most popular social networking sites as we make this article where you can see popular browser-based games that has now came a long way from what was our general idea of casual browser-based games.
