I have zero-day security software installed so I’m not affected.
HTML 5 is set to replace Flash and Netflix is running Microsoft Silverlight
Netflix is slowly killing off Silverlight & switching to HTML5, with Safari support starting today
The streaming media giant today announced that its switching to HTML5 video in Safari on OS X Yosemite, Apples new operating system for Mac. That means the Mac crowd will be able to stream Netflix videos without installing any external plugins theyll be able to just load the page and start watching.
By switching over to HTML5, Netflix majorly reduces the CPU load required to stream video. On laptops, that means longer battery life. Netflix says a MacBook Air streaming 1080p Netflix content using HTML5 will last two hours longer than it would with Silverlight.
