Right, so you remember and bring up one of the very very few features IE introduced during that period that actually turned out to be helpful and beneficial, and you gloss over the many that were emphatically not.

- lern_too_spel 4y agoActiveX has had no impact whatsoever. How has it harmed the web platform? XHR, just like MSE, which the person who started this thread is asking for, expands the usability of the web in a vendor-neutral way. MSE, better than XHR, went through a standards process to ensure web publishers wanted it and browser vendors agreed on the API. There is no reason for Apple to drag its feet on implementing MSE on iPhones, aside from protecting Apple's profits. It is ridiculous to see people defending Apple about this.
