  Just relaunch your browser, it should update automatically.
  • jstimpfle 9y ago
    To state the obvious, not everybody has Chrome, and not everybody has or wants the newest version. That's how it should be. By implying that it's ok to assume otherwise, you're (probably unknowingly) harming the community.

      Dumb (but genuine) question: why is it good that not everyone wants to be in the new version?
      • jstimpfle 9y ago
        Just try not to presuppose more than is required. I might be unhappy with the newest version. Or, my device can't be updated due to technical or polital reasons. Or, the newer version does not work or is not available for my hardware or operating system. Or, I might actually be on a fork (or fake) of the software that isn't up-to-date yet. You see, there are tons of reasons...

          In Chrome's case, I believe it auto updates. So you don't really have a choice unless you actively try to disallow it or switch of auto-updates.

            So I do have a choice, right? HN is a pretty technical forum -- not normally a place for ignorant-consumer type viewpoints (no offense intended). Case in point, my version of "Chrome" (chromium on Debian) does not auto-update (I think so - It's the normal way on Debian, although I don't really use chromium but firefox).

              Why don’t you go ahead and restate what sgt said in a way that wouldn’t have set you off on this needlessly perjorative tangent.
              • jstimpfle 9y ago
                Sorry, I'm just bad at leaving posts below my own ones unanswered. But actually I explained exactly what I thought was wrong with that (sgt's) comment and why I supposed it had been downvoted. I don't think there is a way of restating it -- OP has a perfectly valid point that does not need "nothing is wrong, just restart or install this thing that everybody needs to have" type rebuttals.

  bug tracking implementation of missing feature in FF: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1062849 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1062849 Yes, it's 4 years old.

    To be clear, that bug originally tracked the implementation of the Audio Worker API, which went through many iterations that eventually led to the current Audio Worklet spec.
• shams93 9y ago
  For cutting edge html5 we have no choice but the latest chrome. Audio worklets? Webmidi? Even though I prefer Firefox they're not moving at the same rate as chrome, no one is when it comes to things like audio worklets.

    Apparently there is no issue when it is Google doing it.

  > Only available on Chrome and only versions 66 and up. Lame. You are in a tech forum with techies and you are complaining about having to run the latest & greatest. How is this constructive? Sometimes you need to run the newest stuff in order to, you know, use the newest stuff. As a techie, you should know that, right? The alternative would be flash, but then you couldn't have done this demo....

    Maybe they're not using Chrome?
