Since the Flash remote kill happened a few weeks ago by Mozilla and Google, I purged all Flash including manually disabling the built-in plugin in Chrome. But within days, I found that site have escalated their migration to HTML5 video and I've noticed two things. a.) these sites use more CPU than they did before with Flash. b.) they automatically play video, including ads in the margin, and I have found no way to disable this behavior such that I get the equivalent behavior I did with the Flash Block plugin. As for the first problem, I'm gonna guess that HTML5 video codec is not yet, or as well, GPU optimized as Flash was. And the second, I don't know but it really has me in an incredibly foul mood because I'm actually wishing for Flash to come back just so I can block video. It even happens on my phone running Cyanogenmod, and it basically just chokes to death. ---- Chris Murphy
My suspicion is that it is not html5. I say this because, even though I was cruising youtube, I was not playing anything. Furthermore, I used an addon to block all ads, so I had no animated ads, nor any ads on the pages. So, I am puzzled about what is eating the cpu bandwidth. I wish there were away for the user to view all the JS directives that FF receives from the web sites so we can know exactly what it is doing. We need to able to exercise total control over what the browser is doing on behalf the websites we visit. When I killed FF, cpu usage went down to 2%. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
