Web technology WebRTC (Web with Real Time Communications) moves Google, Mozilla and Opera with one purpose – to make possible video conferencing on mobile devices and websites directly in the browser, without the need to install any add-ons for this. Unfortunately, the recent development of WebRTC stalled due to the contradiction between the two companies, which were divided into two camps: one in every way promote an open standard free Google VP8, while others, thus pushing for more support H.264. Cisco may help the two camps to reach a compromise.

It became known that Cisco has decided to open its own implementation for the H.264 codec is licensed under BSD. In the near future OpenH264 video codec will be available for free download in the form of binaries for all popular platforms possible. In other words, any project or application, including WebRTC, will be able to use ready-made modules H.264 from Cisco. At the same time pay royalties MPEG LA does not have to. It is worth noting that the pay is not got to do is for the use of ready-made modules, while the source code for the application of the codec will have to pay royalties.

Mozilla community in the face of technical director Brendan Ike supported the initiative and promised to implement a Cisco support module from Cisco H.264 in Firefox at the beginning of 2014. The report said that the Firefox browser will automatically install the OS is compatible with the version of the module OpenH264, if this feature will not be disabled by the user in the settings. H.264 Support Firefox users to provide access to content without the need for H.264 decode it.

On November 7, the Internet Engineering Council (IETF), engaged in the development of protocols and the architecture of the Internet, is going to decide on the video codec standardized for use in WebRTC. At the moment, there is no guarantee that their decision is closely linked with the plans Cisco. True, H.264 is now one of the most popular video codecs and its application in WebRTC along with VP8 will allow users to think less about the devices and software that they use for video conferencing.

We recall not so long ago, Google and Mozilla had a chat with browsers with support for WebRTC .

Google has announced some of the innovations implemented in the new version of Chrome browser and Chrome for Android.

So, with this week’s Chrome browser users will be able to search for pictures. This will be enough to right click on any picture that is displayed in the browser. This will launch search for similar images on the Internet.

At the same time, the Chrome browser for Android introduces new gestures. They allow faster to navigate through open tabs, and access to the menus. For example, a horizontal swipe toolbar along the top of the screen allows you to quickly switch between tabs. If you perform a gesture from the vertical toolbar down, then you can access the switch tabs. Finally, the gesture down from the menu not only opens the menu, but also allows you to select a menu item without lifting your finger from the screen.

These innovations will be available to users over the next few days.

Currently, many browsers support the connection interface plugins Netscape Plug-in API (NPAPI). But soon Google will refuse to support NPAPI in your browser Chrome.

As stated by Google, blocking NPAPI will begin in January 2014, the appropriate plug-ins no longer work by default in new versions of releases Chrome. But today in the Web Store are no longer accepted new extensions that use the NPAPI. Previously added extensions, developers can update to May 2014, and in September 2014 they will be completely removed from the directory.

Additionally reported that in January 2014, not all based on NPAPI plugins stop working. Some of the most popular additions still continue their work, but only as long as no new versions will be based on the new API. In any case, before the end of 2014 will be completely dropped support for NPAPI.

It is noted that at the time based on NPAPI plugins allowed to implement support for audio and video in the browser. But since then, the web technology has greatly stepped forward and now do not need the older decisions that have come out of the 90s of the last century. Now, the assurances of Google, NPAPI is one of the main reasons for application hangs, crashes, security problems. The use of this outdated architecture leads to a complication of the code. Refusal to further support the NPAPI is virtually invisible to end users. Now only 6 NPAPI plug-ins are applied on the basis of more than 5% of users of Chrome: Microsoft Silverlight, Unity, Google Earth, Java, Google Talk and Facebook Video. That they came to a temporary white list and will work after January 2014. If necessary, expand the white list users will be able to.

Instead NPAPI further encouraged to use web-based technologies such as NaCl, Apps, Native Messaging API and LBS (Legacy Browser Support). In addition, as an alternative, Google offers to use Pepper API (PPAP) – a simple and safe solution. However, the support that PPAPpoka limited.

Further, it should be noted that not only Google has decided to abandon further support the NPAPI. The company also Mozilla stops supporting this API in your Firefox browser from mid-December of this year.
