So, a plugin-free web that requires plugins?
- jmodp 14y agoSmaller specialized standard plugins.
- Turing_Machine 14y agoSmaller, specialized, closed-source plugins that are practically guaranteed to become attack vectors. Personally, I'm glad Flash is dying and am not in any real hurry to replace it.
- trunnell 14y agoNo, it doesn't require plugins. The EME approach is agnostic to whether the "decryption module" is implemented by the OS, the browser, or a plug-in. Nothing specifies where they come from, but in practice I think they will usually be provided by the OS. We'll have to see what browsers end up doing. There will probably be a variety of approaches.
