Lack of GPU acceleration of Flash?
5 comments

It uses WebRTC and the video tag AFAIK
Not yet- even on chrome webrtc isn't close to the polish/stability/feature set of the plugin.
It's not flash, it's a custom plugin.
Is it Flash? I thought it was just webkit's video rendering.
I dunno, but it always makes me wonder if they test this on any consumer type machines and if their fans are going as fast as mine...
I'm more inclined to think lack of HW-decoding for VP8/9 + Google's "VideoandTalk" plugin on OSX is a piece of crap.
