SCHWIERIGKEITEN MIT FIREFOX 45.0 UPGRADE

That’s a good thing, of course, but the standards battle means that users will have to upgrade if they want to have a decent experience on many of the sites they visit. In the next year or so, you’ll see all of the major browsers offering significant upgrades. “Browser wars are back,” says analyst Ron Rogowski, of Forrester Research. Users of mobile devices like the iPad and iPhone are unwilling participants in the skirmish, and you can expect ripples to reach the desktop as well. But as the problem on the Times Web site illustrates, the tiff over Flash and a rival video standard called HTML 5 is having a real effect on the Web-loving public. Normally, the technology industry’s progress in adopting standards is like making sausage: You don’t want to see it or know too much about it. And since ads pay the bills, the Times won’t post many videos on the version of its site tuned for the iPad. But without Flash, Brightcove can’t include ads, or the analytic tools that allow advertisers to measure the performance of ads, said Brightcove’s marketing chief Jeff Whatcott. The Times and thousands of other sites use a media player called Brightcove to play those Flash-less videos. Here’s why: Apple won’t allow Flash based videos to run on an iPad. However, iPad users viewing the popular New York Times site are finding out that not having to sit through ads has a price- fewer videos to watch.

Web video without ads? No one would mind that.
