Originally posted by AlbertP View PostBecause no plugins used it at all up to now. The PPAPI plugin is not available outside Chrome, though it is maybe possible to use Chrome's flash in another browser with PPAPI support if Chrome is installed.
Then having it supported by Flash, maybe Java, Silverlight/Moonlight, etc could be ported to PPAPI.
Because I heard PPAPI is more secure, so that's a good thing.
Either way, maybe not necessary. Silverlight is dead, and Oracle is fuckin' up with Java, so applets are dead and dying more too. Only Flash is left, and its dying too in favor of HTML5.
Maybe PPAPI is too little too late. PPAPI sounds great, but its something we should have gotten 10 years ago.

I think a buggy application shouldn't be able to freeze the whole desktop session.
Maybe this is a problem with graphics device drivers, GNOME, or X.org?

Just tried it... i don't know if i'm doing something wrong, but now i'm unable to use gpu to decode the streams (mms.cfg is properly configured) and when i open it in fullscreen i just see the left half of the video... on my right head (dual head setup).
All used to work fine with flashplugin 10.3.183.10, now it is a mess with 11.3.31.208 on this Nvidia 9600GT.
Great, let's back to firefox with the old flashplugin and flashvideoreplacer with vlc plugin.

I noticed this too. Chrome starts slow now and its huge.
If one single application can freeze the whole desktop session then perhaps the problem is deeper than that software being buggy.

The real thing I love about Firefox is the GTK integration, and all the OpenSource commitment they made.
As for me saying that the PAPPI was closed source.. sorry about that I didn't search too much and talked before knowing, big mistake there :S

And google doesn't push to the right direction too much.

Youtube WebM works well enough and TPB and the forums work great for porn.

It is the developpers job to start make more and more HTML5 content, most of the users will not see the diference, but if they like they will support, just like flash at his time.

Get on Google's ass about not leveraging their tech.
