That's exactly what this standard would allow.
- hayksaakian 13y agoThat's how it is now without a standard. We don't need a standard for stupid anti-UX features like built in DRM
- thrillgore 13y agoAnd I seriously doubt with EME that it will change this way. I work for a media company, Flash is used not just for its DRM but because our ad vendors don't care about HTML5 support. It's why we can't move forward with HTML5 outside of mobile.
- wildfire 13y agoYou do realise that 'mobile' now accounts for > 50% of pageviews? Which means that your ad vendors actually about HTML5 support. They just do not know it yet.
- cheald 13y agoWe already have a standard for stupid anti-UX features built in. It's called NPAPI.
