- SCdF 12y agoThat's so weird, why would the comments of all things require flash!?
- calebegg 12y agoProbably because it's easier than long polling and more widely supported than web sockets.
- flavioribeiro 12y agoHLS is supported by default on Safari (on MacOS only, AFAIK). HLS is developed by Apple so it make sense to support it natively on their products. There's a bunch of players that has "HTML5-first" support, it tries to use <video> tag and if the browser doesn't support it, it fallbacks to flash.
