Finally HTML5 sites have a IE browser plug-in, like Silverlight has on Linux.

On the left, Google chrome with Silverlight, and on the right is IE with Chrome Frame playing HTML5 video.

Even if HTML5 is the endgame for Silverlight, if the media wants to bark all day about Chrome Frame with HTML5 on IE, they should remember Silverlight is a whole web environment also, -and a browser plug-in.

A one-way privilege is not the answer, both have the right to exist on each other's systems. If a person does not like each others system, they have the right to make their own decision.


Silverlight is coming to Linux, so it is up to the person to accept/refuse it. EVERYONE has the right to stream multimedia on the internet, so the media barking will sound like nonsense, unless it balances the opinion.


After looking at this screenshot, is the media barking the wrong balance of information?

Chrome Frame gives IE users access to HTML5 video, and the VLC plug-in.

Besides the news about Google, Microsoft and Mozilla flexing their "media-power", here are some screenshots which show how Chrome Frame helps IE users play HTML5 video.

On OGGTV.com, the design of the site allows HTML5 and embed usage, both which work on Chrome Frame.

The screenshots below, show it in action, (OGGTV is already Chrome Frame compatible).

The "media-power-flexing" between the browser companies will continue, but the main point is, the public will accept the Silverlight Browser plug-in on Linux/open-source browsers. Browser plug-ins are not a one-way privilege, all parties will have the right to compete on a level playing field.

The FCC with Net Neutrality, will not allow multimedia streaming/applications to be blocked.

So if Chrome Frame helps IE users participate in HTML5 web features, it is their choice to install it.

I will have open-media content added later, blogs, news, and open-social content, OGGTV is a base of test videos now.  I am working towards building it into a open-social video site, once I get a team together.
