- hello_computer 2y agoExactly. We used to have different protocols for these things, which were far more efficient than jamming it all into HTTP inside TLS inside TCP. Can’t even do UDP in the browser, which is exactly what you need for realtime streaming communication. 25 years ago, on my 1GHz computer, with 512MB of RAM, I had no trouble watching videos, playing music, sending files & emails, making calls, etc--all over the internet. So many people are confused into thinking that computing didn't begin until javascript, which was not the beginning, but the beginning of the end.
