Microsoft is trying to improve browsers like Edge and Chrome by tackling annoying video playback issues for smoother browsing

Microsoft’s Edge and Google’s Chrome browsers could get improvements on the media playback front when it comes to embedded videos on websites, ensuring these clips don’t start to play before they become visible. Or, at least, this is Microsoft’s aim based on work apparently underway in Chromium, the open-source engine of both Edge and Chrome (plus other web browsers besides).

Currently, you can get a situation where a website is still loading – and an embedded video hasn’t yet appeared – but it starts to play, and you get audio with no picture. With Microsoft’s update, the video will be paused while the browser is still loading up the web page and video clip, and it’ll only play when everything’s ready (and the video is displayed on-screen). Clearly, that’s a much better way of […]
