Works great on the latest nightly.

negative

Because Chrome isnt a new(er) browser and its entirely original right???Themes, extensions, tabs...all new :whistle:

Further , Google Chrome introduced Javascript performance , prior to that , it was just unknown to everyone and those ppl were fools who said , see , Firefox does that j word faster and now my Facebook is faster than on IE :p

Can anybody tell me what WebM is please? :)

The WebM Project is a Google-sponsored project dedicated to create an open and royalty free video format that provides high quality video compression for use with HTML5 video.

The WebM format consists of the VP8 video codec developed by On2 and the Vorbis audio codec, in a container format based on a profile of Matroska.[2][3][4] The project releases WebM related software under a BSD License with patent clause.

Didn't Opera come up with their dreadful rendition of tabs on top after Chrome?

i don;t think that counts for innovation. which of them got their tabs on top first...

chrome gave the start with some innovations like multi process browsing (better than loosely coupled IE implementation) and supported performance war :)

but i'm sure the others browsers (firefox, ie, opera, safari etc...) had a lot of more innovations because they were here a long time ago.

btw i like chrome but i can't understand how a browser doesn't have rss support... not that i use it that much.

LOL , after my terrible exprience about Copying menu button of firefox by opera thread i posted earlier , i doubt there is something called Innovation by individual company!!

WebM is fairly slow (720p WebM = 78% CPU, 720p Theora = 45% CPU), but that will change in time.

Yes , because this is initial non-public releases

On Mac OS X it still sucks; OOP plugins don't work with the latest nightly - every time I go to YouTube it claims that I don't have the flash plugin installed (when I do). Then there is the continued lack of tab process isolation which makes it even worse.

I don't want to sound like a downer but Firefox on Mac royally sucks - when it someone going to do something about it?

It's a nightly, bugs are to be expected.

For me, YouTube doesn't repaint properly, Flash doesn't receive keyboard events, full screen opens up unfocused (so you need to click on the screen to interact with it) and there's no right click menu.

OOP QuickTime's worse (it either doesn't redraw at all, or displays every second frame flipped vertically)

To compete with performance of h264, webM need to acquire hardware acceleration. (You can't beat 0%...)

In other words, WebM can only be called performance-friendly on systems that support hardware WebM decoding.

Although, then we can then compare GPU unitization h264 vs. WebM.

I've got today's build but i can't view webm videos...

Try viewing this

webm=1&html5=1

no all videos will work , do check for bold content above

Thanks , updated :D

The problem is that in my case the plugin doesn't work at all because the browser doesn't even detect the existence of the plugin. I can handle bugginess but the damn thing isn't working at all.

    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.

    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
