Without Flash live streams on Youtube cannot be played in Firefox 45 on Windows XP. So Flash is still useful.
And by the way videos in Twitter and Vimeo don't work in both Chromium and Firefox on Windows XP. Because HTML5 video cross-platform compatibility is not perfect and developers have chosen not to encode videos in formats supported on this platform.
- TheKarateKid 9y agoAnyone who still uses XP doesn't deserve to have compatibility. The time to move on was years ago.
- codedokode 9y agoXP is still more popular than many Linux distributions. Should Youtube stop supporting them too?
- ConfucianNardin 9y agoImportant difference: you will get support for most of those Linux distributions "for free" just by targeting modern web standards.
- j45 9y agoXP is still used in many countries around the world on older equipment for a variety of reasons.
