Yes, it is dishonest of Google to keep referring to 'the Open Web' when 'HTML5 video' is heading towards being simply an enabler for other proprietary plug-ins.
The Open Web of binary blobs.
- jcranmer 10y agoI'm still waiting for Google Hangouts to actually use WebRTC and not require a plugin (or NaCl). Like they promised several years ago. Google has been really dishonest about their moves to the Open Web.
- fixermark 10y ago"Open Web" includes online commerce. It's still open even though people use HTTPS-encrypted data streams, for example.
- supergreg 10y agoBrowser makers don't need to get a certification to use HTTPS.
- fixermark 10y agoNo, but they do need to get a signed chain-of-trust certificate rooted to a certificate authority recognized by their clients' user agents. They also need a well-defined domain name that was registered through some domain-name registrar, somewhere. The notion that some parts of the web standard are pay-to-play is actually not new.
