The beauty is that <input type="range"> works in any browser. Some just render it as text input.

Videos with ads play perfectly fine with mobile clients (i.e. without Flash) or with Desktop browser faking mobile UA string, so there are no technical limitations.

The problem is that it if you (like me) have no Flash installed, it is impossible to play certain videos, unless you switch UA string (i.e. the limitation is artificial).
