    Well, at least there is one feature in which Chrome is on the top among all browsers. No matter that Firefox is better at anything else, it'll never catch up in this one.



    The version number...

      Isn't WebRTC a standard? Is there a need for Chrome to extend upon a standard that was finalized less than a year ago just to promote it's own codec?

        From what I understand, WebRTC negotiates a codec and the standard just specifies a minimum "must support" set of them, so adding VP9 to Chrome just means that it can prefer it if both sides indicate support. (Sort of like how TLS negotiates a cipher and they periodically add new ones and retire old ones to keep ahead of advancements in attacks.)

          Has real-time encoding of VP9 improved enough for rtc?

            That makes sense, thanks.

                How long until Mozilla copies this one I wonder. Those guys at Mozilla are nothing but a Copy Machine now, it's really unfortunate. A little originality would be welcomed by many I believe.

                  I, for one, appreciate a browser that doesn't constantly bug me to log in to surf the web. Or that lets me select the installation folder.

                    Same here
                    Plus, I like that it asks me if I want to install the auto-updater
                    Also it seems to be the only one that cares about privacy
