I'll take complete video support over WebBluetooth, DRM, WebGL and other similar garbage.

Why is webgl garbage? You don't think 3d online games should be able to exist?

[-] oldfart@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

I never used one tbh. Last time I used something WebGL was when its tech demo was released.

Of course all of these have uses, that's why they exist. I just find these use cases very rare/exotic compared to viewing a video with subs.

A lot of people play online games. They aren't exactly rare.

Something that is actually a lot less used (and probably a lot of effort to maintain as well) is webxr. It's a cool technology but not very useful right now (although I could imagine it becoming more important in the future)

can we add webusb and direct filesystem access to the list?

[-] oldfart@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago

There's direct FS access now? Wow, going full ActiveX

[-] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

yeah, in chrome. It's put behind a permission.. but that's just a single click or two, and very dangerous, like webusb
