- ungzd 10y agoSeems that extension is involved: http://imgur.com/a/HLpLf http://imgur.com/a/HLpLf
- cpeterso 10y agoHangouts on Chrome uses NaCl for some visual processing (like hats), or at least it used to. So the NaCl code may show up as a plugin process. https://webrtchacks.com/hangout-analysis-philipp-hancke/ https://webrtchacks.com/hangout-analysis-philipp-hancke/
- cpeterso 10y agoHangouts uses a plugin (NPAPI or ActiveX) in browsers other than Chrome.
- TD-Linux 10y agoHangouts uses a bunch of non-standard Hangouts-specific APIs in Chrome. Maybe it's be best to call it "Google-RTC". https://webrtchacks.com/hangout-analysis-philipp-hancke/ https://webrtchacks.com/hangout-analysis-philipp-hancke/ In summary, they use weaker encryption than allowed by the spec, nonstandard ICE (firewall hole punching), nonstandard data channels, and an abandoned way to do multistream.
