The most popular service projectionof online videos, YouTube, has decided to abandon flash in favor of HTML5 which will now be the norm.
Over the last four years, the YouTube is experimenting with HTML5, and it has now been announced that it will be the basic standard on which the service will be displayed in Chrome, Internet Explorer 11, Safari 8 and all trial versions of Firefox. This decision is expected to affect the speed at which a video loads, especially in conditions of increased Internet traffic and connections carrying a large amount of data.
Adaptive Bitrate, or abbreviated ABR, allows Youtube to adjust the resolution and bitrate as the conditions of use of a network change, resulting in a halving of the online video buffering phenomenon. At the same time, HTML5 allows the open standard VP9, which allows you to view higher quality video with smaller volume files, which enhances the loading speed, especially for those using mobile Internet.
All indications are that HTML5 is headed for full web dominance, with Adobe's flash being abandoned by an ever-increasing number of services and widely used platforms such as functional system Apple's iOS.
