I think the sensible solution (and this goes for anything where there's security or privacy concern like WebGL) is to block it by default however to prompt the user that the website wants to use WebRTC. The user can then choose to allo

If there's security concerns then it should prompt the user to allow/deny as well as whitelist the site for the future with a setting that lets people disable WebRTC easily (not in some obscure area).

That gameplay looks more like Wolfenstein but with Duke sprites. I honestly feel bad for kids who thought they were getting a decent game or reading about games being released around the world and seeing images of them and thinking that Seg

I specifically mention that even when it tries to do hardware acceleration it isn't as efficient. I know it does h264 hardware acceleration along with 3D stuff. It does it, it just does it really poorly compared to native alternative

getting the GPU to offload stuff and letting the host OS deal with it instead of layers of browser plugins still sounds better (even when Flash tries to use hardware acceleration). for example, it's much more efficient to let the brows

I guess you're not going to own all the infrastructure and simply have it as a cost of business which you can pass on to the customer. On top of that hardware costs vs performance along with hardware h264 encoding is getting cheaper.
