The syntax isn't that bad. It's written in a style that gracefully degrades: strip out the HTML tags, and it's perfectly readable, but the furigana shows up inline rather than above. Portions are duplicated to ensure graceful degradation. You type 振り仮名(ふりがな) (with tags demarcating the sections, of course), repeating the り, so it'll show up properly if the browser lacks ruby text support. But if the browser does have…
On iPad the り is only visible in the furigana. On top of that, the furigana is displayed below the text.
Yes, only Firefox 38 has support for advanced ruby text, unfortunately.
While advanced ruby text degrades great in browsers with no ruby text support at all, it doesn't seem to degrade well in browsers with basic support :(

#43The broadcast channel support looks promising. Does anyone know if Chrome plans to support it in the future?
CanIUse pointed at a proposal for Chrome support which eventually points at this bug:
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=161070
There are some work-in-progress patches posted there.

#44Anyone else having issues with the bookmarks toolbar in 38? Mine draws blank when you open a window. I have to hide/show it before it draws correctly.
This occurs each time a window is opened.

My menu button on the right of the address/search bar doesn't work anymore either.

There's a big difference - before these moves, DRM delivery of video had to be done using shitty nonstandard plugins or native apps, right? Whenever this happens, usability suffers as well. And we had a real opportunity here to give users an open and non-broken standard as an alternative, on top of which alternative platforms for content delivery could be built, alternatives that could have won simply because of the…
I understand your frustration, but I think you're complaining that you didn't get an option that was never realistically on the table in the first place. Your respect for the W3C matters a lot less to them than millions of people being able to watch content produced by a billion dollar industry, which much of that industry simply isn't willing to make available without DRM-style safeguards at the present time. Yes, w…
> I do think calling those plug-ins non-standard is a bit of a joke, given that Flash had 90+% market penetration for years
Flash was also proprietary. It's closed-source, patent-encumbered, and has a single implementation. It's completely under the control of Adobe.

As Apple explained countless times, it is not because of "arrogance" that they did not support Flash. Adobe weren't able to supply them with a working mobile Flash runtime, and Flash's resource use was a big problem (memory, CPU, battery life), so it couldn't run on mobile devices. Recall that the first iPhones had severely limited RAM (128MB!) and CPUs, and even when, years later, Android devices with Flash bundled were released, they couldn't run it terribly well. Flash was also a massive security and stability headache: as Apple loved to point out, it was the single largest source of application crashes on OS X.

I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I also gather downvotes whenevver I make a comment like this. The current crop of content producers will not produce content without some guarantees/safeguards. There was never an option to outright refuse these conditions because we would simply be left with no content at all or it would be completely locked to proprietary hardware and/or platforms.

Well ... I have found that thepiratebay works flawlessly to deliver videos on any platform. It is sad that we are moving backwards. Right now I WANT to give netflix money for Daredevil ... and there is no legal way for me to do so ...
Hmmm? What OS do you run? Netflix works great on the Linux version of Google Chrome. Yes, you have to use proprietary software, but it does work.
