The spec defines a standard interface to these modules. This is not worse than NPAPI.
- alexvoda 10y agoFrom a technical and standards point of view, indeed it's not worse than NPAPI.You could argue that without Flash and other plugins you could not get the full web experience in the past. And therefore, in terms of browsers, OS's and HW platforms were at the mercy of Adobe, Microsoft, etc. . But as I argued in my other response, EMEs are worse because they send the wrong message about DRM.
