The thirty-second startup time of Java for Cortado makes it unusable,
in my experience. Here's to Firefox 3.5.
Flash isn't something in the running because you
still need to be
using encumbered media formats to use it... unless you're only playing
audio: There are several independent Vorbis implementations for the
flash virtual machine, no video codecs yet, and sadly the flash
architecture is no where near as nice as the silverlight one for
remote-loaded codecs so you have to completely reinvent all the media
infrastructure.
Indeed. What's the performance of the Flash ActiveScript Theora
decoder like? Horrible, or just bad?
