This (and without HeartBleed's, MD5-certificates, crippled 40-bit keys,...) definitely makes sense when hunting around big bucks or sensitive personal data ... however obligatory HTTPS for things like BUGzilla's and user or developer forums isn't that sane. > I don't recall ever seeing an MNG file, and if I were Mozilla, I > wouldn't bother to add support for something no one actually > used, even if it produced *no* bloat. 10 + 5 = 2 ;-) > More to the point, who *needed* it? - people using AGIF and being happy with it - people using AGIF but being concerned about its technical issues (256 colors etc) - people using AGIF but being concerned about its legal issues - people using Flu$h for animations and being happy with it - people using Flu$h for animations but being concerned about its technical issues (bugged Plugin) - people using Flu$h for animations but being concerned about its legal issues - people who would like to use animations on the Internet but couldn't since both AGIF and Flu$h sucked > What sort of other stuff might you *omit* from Mozilla code to > trim bloat? What do you consider bloat? Maybe cca 80% of stuff added during recent 4 years. > H_264 got the nod because it provides better compression, and > video takes bandwidth. Google But the very same Google notoriously tries to prevent people from downloading movies from its Loo-Tube. 10 times viewed -> 10 times wasted bandwidth. Now let's assert than bandwidth is an issue. :-D > was looking at Theora as an alternative when they decided to make Chrome Please point me to the full test report with test materials. > We *have* a usable spec, and it's being implemented.

Why? Becasue it does NOT need 1000's of hours of work done by 1000's of state-of-the-art programmers. Instead of the malware link "https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer"; they could just provide the download link for the movie, or embed it using the simple HTML5 style. This would cost actually nothing. > Since you seem to have missed the fact oops > I'll be a good guy damn > What worked 20 years ago *won't* work now.

BTW, FireFox now includes an excellent PDF viewer. It's only cca 100 times slower than MUPDF. ;-) One more bad news for you: > FF 1-4 do *not* support current standards, and are likely to fail > in odd ways if you try to use them now check http://www.4p8.com/eric.brasseur/gamma_dalai_lama.html with FireFox 48 then check with Links 2.13. Oops, you can't since you don't have DOS ?
