- Groxx 16y agoOh? Resuming downloads, large downloads (can't decrypt and stream to the disk as it comes in), and handling any future changes to the encryption algorithm (say, asymmetric instead of symmetric)? How about that, as it's in JS / attached to the DOM, an injected script has access to it? Or the several gigabytes of memory it would take to store and decrypt a gigabyte download? It'd also likely end up being an even bigger battery drain than Flash. It's a definite problem. It won't be for long, I think, but it most certainly is now.
