be damned.
So market pressure will force everybody to do WebGL.
- Locke1689 15y agoApple has very successfully marketed OS X as being "virus free." When every browser but IE is suffering serious vulnerability problems, IE will look very good.
- mbrubeck 15y ago...except that there are dozens of other sources of "serious vulnerability problems" besides WebGL. IE has had plenty of critical security holes in the past without WebGL, and avoiding WebGL is not going to magically make them secure in the future. (Just look at the history of the pwn2own contest, for example.)

- TikiTDO 15y agoNote the proof of concept that takes advantage of a similar bug in Silverlight. The instant Microsoft tries to market IE as secure there will be thousands of articles calling them out on it.
- rmc 15y agoSo people who want to crash a browser will do it on Silverlight aswell for the IE crowd?
- tptacek 15y agoThat's an argument that holds ActiveX in high regard, isn't it?
- TikiTDO 15y agoFlash won the early online game battle against ActiveX. We all know how flash is positioned these days. It's not a question of regard, but market penetration.
