> You might argue the ability of using Flash as an option. I see the fact that both Apple (and now Google have) actively taken a stance against Flash as something good for the society as a whole. It's a step towards better, and more open standards.
If only Apple took the same stance regarding video codecs, too, and embrace WebM. But the truth is they support what is convenient for them at the time. If it also happens to help the society in the long term - great. But it's not their main priority.
- mvip 15y agoYeah, you're right. Apple isn't only killing Flash because it is good for the society. They're doing it because the user experience would suffer. That isn't the case with video codecs unfortunately, but it would have been great if Apple did embrace WebM, but I don't see that happening in a near future.
