It will sit on top of the existing JavaScript engines and APIs, so no new security issues there.

So this is like PNaCl but targeting the web API and by making it collaborative, hopefully a real standard allowing independent reimplementation? Ironic that Eich is the one to pull the trigger on JS.

You mean, worse answers here, right.

Around here they would ask that you join (which is cheap) and they do have trained lawyers in this - it's one of the main areas where employer-employee conflicts come up (that shouldn't even be surprising).

>Granted many are not as feature rich, but they'll still be HTML5 compliant. This is a meaningless statement. HTML5 is a moving target. And on top of that, webpage design has deteriorated to the levels we saw around 2000 again: to b

So it's using the NaCl sandbox and interface without the bytecode parts?

That's really interesting, thanks.

>As someone who has contributed to both projects, I wouldn't say Chromium is any less welcoming to contributors than Firefox. You're far more likely to have hidden discussions about features or get patches obsolete due to code

On the contrary, sometimes ignoring the discussion is the only way to stay sane and make progress because there are an infinite number of people with "opinions". In this case the original report is informative, what comes after (u

The problem is that a browser does really want access to a whole lot of stuff as it's almost an OS. But no, Chromium doesn't run as root afaik, the rootkit stuff is complete bullshit.

Which part of "their behavior of dumping huge changesets and lack of documentation and communication wears everyone out." is not clear to you?

>a script being download and run would be a as much a security incident as what happened. Like opening a webpage?

Firefox doesn't support NacCl, Mozilla has show no intention of integrating it and they even criticized the technology.

NaCl isn't simply a plugin architecture. It is effectively the entire Chrome sandbox and large parts of Chrome architecture made available to binary plugins. You aren't pulling it into your project without also pulling in half of

by rockdoe 11y ago
That's the point. It's strong vendor lock in because NaCl is unadoptable by their competition.

It was very much the intent: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=491435 Chromium is and has always been an open source project in name only.

by rockdoe 11y ago
Do what by accident? Of course the intent was to include the blob. If Debian wants to get rid of it it should patch Chromium or request it to be made configurable (which is what happened). But the tinfoil hattery is completely baseless.

That doesn't stop you from having a Linux system without systemd, though.

Yes, the ones that track you. That's the point, isn't it.

Given that it's the default and sometimes only working option for many of the most popular Linux distros: yes.

The normal one is IIRC a fork when the original developer disappeared for a while. He's now very active again.

Isn't it using Opus? Much superior to MP3 for voice and the patents are royality free. RecorderJS seems to at least use Opus. But what if you roll out your own compressor using the same FFT Technology? There's quite a bit more t

MediaRecorder should work in Firefox, and this appears to be a trivial demo of it? I must be missing why this is Chrome only. Edit: Tested, it "just works" in Firefox too.

I hope yours isn't another of these "use Chrome" pages. I thought we got rid of that meme around 2000 but hey it's 15 years later and we're back to scratch.

I think the original intent of the spec was to allow some flexibility... in practice supporting this flexibility lead to some vulnerabilities. I think less than a week ago (weakdh) tptacek was mentioning on twitter that security schemes s
