I really hate to see binary blobs downloaded at runtime into a slot in the Firefox software running on my FreeBSD-10.2 installation, by a corporation that builds half the world's internet routers, and is certainly in a position to do almost anything they please with my traffic.
I wrote that all in one breath!
But, I have to admit, this is the first time I've ever used FreeBSD for internet browsing, and felt that it was on par with Windows. I just came from the NFL.com site, having watched my favorite team's game-clips in full screen action. Awesome.
Note that I did turn off all cameras, mikes, and the like, even though FIREFOX would never abuse them (but someone else would, I hear).
So, what do other forum members think of this?
- Edit: Oh yeah - I should tell you what I'm talking about: the H264 support via Cisco.
