Thank God, about time. Any other major websites that still use browser-based proprietary extensions instead of open standards?

- JoshTriplett 9y agoZoom, and several other "meeting" sites.
- chii 9y agothere's no standard for a screenshare. i wish there was
- notnarb 9y agoNot quite standardized, but Firefox appears to allow extension-less screensharing as of FF 52 https://wiki.mozilla.org/Screensharing https://wiki.mozilla.org/Screensharing https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html https://mozilla.github.io/webrtc-landing/gum_test.html This is all done with parameters specified to getUserMedia as opposed to Chrome's extension-only "chrome.desktopCapture.chooseDesktopMedia" As far as I can tell, the reason why screen-sharing is not more widely accessible is because of a security UX issue rather than a technical limitation. Both Firefox and Chrome are can provide you with media stream ID's to use in WebRTC negotiation, they differ mostly in the boundaries required to authorize access.
