Content decryption modules are plugins by another name. The spec gives no guarantee that a given CDM can be interoperable with all browsers (being a binary it can possible arbitrarily reject to operate with a given browser), Operating syste

The proposal is (probably by design) very vague at this moment but it's possible the platform-specific CDM binary could bypass the browser completely and paint a programmatically inaccessible overlay over the video element, using standard O

The currentl proposal [1] mandates content decryption modules that are not part of the browser but rather plugins akin to current NPAPI ones (Flash etc). Those will most likely be platform-specific binaries. That makes operating systems lik

Thank you for info and bug number.

To my knowledge Firefox has had support for IndexedDB for a long time without a vendor-prefix. Why does the page claim that it doesn't? Is there a bug in the implementation? A missing feature?

by ferongr 14y ago
This doesn't happen in Firefox so I'd assume it's a bug of the browser.

You're conflating different issues. A browser based on an open-source codebase with many people auditing its source-code and network traffic (there was much paranoia about Chrome when it was released). And even in that case, you have the ch

Too bad they don't follow platform conventions like normal buttons. On Windows, clicking a button and then moving the mouse off it while keeping the button down releases the button the moment the cursor leaves the button's area and the butt

No, it doesn't. It's possible that whatever browser you're using doesn't support some feature, maybe requestAnimationFrame, but I could onlt speculate here. Flash is used for some ads though. I'd suggest you try either Chrome for Android (i

A local client does not suffer from input latency and the client does not validate camera movement (mouselook) to server snapshots . There's also some leeway into other kinds of movement so latency jitter and a few dropped packets do not in

Not until we can push data across distances faster than the speed of light. The input and video latency makes it impractical for all but the slowest-paced of games.
