Well-known video hosting renounced technology due to which it emerged into the light. Now the most used browser YouTube default includes support for HTML5.
Native YouTube acted on Adobe Flash technology. HTML5 support was added in 2010, and slowly, but firmly, the Pentagon changed to the new format. In the end, blog, YouTube has found a record that most users will use the player running with the help of HTML5 markup. A new player is integrated by default in Chrome, Internet Explorer 11, Safari 8 and test versions of Firefox.
The owners of the best computers you may not notice the differences in development, but the owners are not such powerful machines will pay attention to changes. HTML5 loads the CPU by 1%, while Flash 8 times, and even better working with text and requires almost no external plugin.
In 2010 HTML5 technology was experimental in nature and appeared partly in consequence of Apple. Steve jobs publicly criticized Flash technology for stand-off, high energy consumption devices, which plays Flash video, regular vulnerabilities and a large number of errors, in consequence of which the whole browser was closed only because of the breakdown of Flash-player. In consequence of this iPhone and iPad do not support Flash technology, which for normal users at first it was a big discrepancy.
Gradually HTML5, which is supported already all "Apple" devices, and which does not need a separate plugin for the browser, unlike Flash, began to conquer the web. On YouTube a long time coexisted Flash and HTML5, but the 2nd development, as demonstrated today, won. The disappearance of Flash is a landmark event because specifically with this technology originated streaming video in General and YouTube in particular. |
