Re: All the processes

2017-03-05 Thread Chris Pearce
We also have the Gecko Media Plugin process type. It's not the same as Flash 
plugin process. There are at least one per origin doing EME and one shared by 
all users of WebRTC that need to encode/decode H.264.

The media playback team are also working on moving the code that interacts with 
the platforms' audio subsystem into its own process, but that project has only 
recently started.

Revocation protocol idea

2017-03-05 Thread Salvador de la Puente
Hi, folks.

Some time ago, I've started to think about an idea to experiment with new
powerful Web APIs: a sort of "deceptive site" database for harmful uses of
browsers APIs. I've been curating that idea and come up with the concept of
a "revocation protocol" to revoke user granted permissions for origins
abusing those APIs.

I published the idea on GitHub [1] and I was wondering about the utility
and feasibility of such a system so I would thank any feedback you want to
provide.

I hope it will be of interest for you.
