I'll have to try a performance comparison, but the native HTML 5 video only uses about 10-11% processor power on my MacBook, allowing me to run it on batteries longer. I doubt that even Chrome's integrated flash can provide that sort of performance.
- seanalltogether 16y agoBattery usage is dependent on both cpu and gpu power draw. It's more complicated to determine what the overall difference is between html5 and flash power drain.
- _delirium 16y agoThat's true on my Macbook as well, but it's also a lot less stable for some reason. Flash plays perfectly fine, while HTML5 video on YouTube in Chrome will fairly frequently cause weird graphics glitches or freeze a tab. Works perfectly fine in Linux, so not sure what the deal is.
