Why is it just 4chan that uses webms?

Why is it just 4chan that uses webms?
>>
mp4/h264 is superior
>>
>>52452642
Youtube uses webm when available. Also, many other image boards do. Other services simply didn't bother, plus iOS and Lagdroid are both such trash they can't even play webm.

Weebs are always 2 steps ahead, technology wise.

I can view them on my Android phone just fine. Please do your research before you spread your misinformation
>>
>>52452657
This.

Also 4chan doesn't support vp9 webm which is super annoying.
>>
>>52452674
What other imageboards?
>>
>>52452674
Android plays webm in browser

iPhone you need to have VLC installer

Click on a webm, it opens a new tab, go to new tab, hit download, wait for download to complete, choose open with

Choose Vlc, it first opens Vlc without playing the webm directly, you have to scroll down to view it

Uh, okay. A couple Android versions ago, 5.1 maybe, it wasn't the case.
>>52452707
I know most Russian boards do support it, namely cocaч (its URL is in the spam list of 4chan).
>>52452709
Is that what you call "supports"? Holy shit. I just click and play in desktop Firefox.

I distinctly remember being able to play webms on KitKat.
>>
>>52452761
Currently 4.1 with no problems. Clearly you just like spouting shit for the sake if it
>>
>>52452761
>Uh, okay. A couple Android versions ago, 5.1 maybe, it wasn't the case.
Maybe 2.1, Anon. I can play them just fine on my Gingerbread (2.3), Jellybean (4.1), Kitkat (4.4.2), Lollipop (5.1.1) and Marshmallow (6.0.1) phones.
>>
>>52452761


I'm stating it play in browser on android. The same as with a pc.

On iPhone it's shit.

Get it chimp?

Well, y'all proved me wrong, it's just that 5 out of 6 phones that I've seen couldn't play webm. Maybe a coincidence.
Still, a lot of people don't even know what it is, and then again iOS users will pretend they don't need webm.

>>52452886
KitKat masterrace reporting in. playing webms is just fine

This, that rabbit is hot as fuck in the same way Rapunzel in Tangled was.
>>
>>52452642
I would fucking smash that rabbit, why did Disney have to make her thighs so thick.
>>
>>52453015
Rabbits have strong kegs for jumping

how do I make webms play directly in 4chan, and not in a new tab? preferably in chrome.
>>
>>52453097
Install a browser instead of your chromium clone.
>>
>>52452674
I play webm on my android, granted one in every 50 wont play

webm with 10-bit color depth require a VLC plugin.
>>
>>52453097
Hey, I use chrome too.

I used to be able to open webms on 4chan on android KitKat before I formatted my phone to cyanogen, now it opens webms on a new tab.
>>
>>52453222
Cyanogen sometimes manages to fuck up webm support depending on the nightly build. I have CM13 on my tablet and phone, and webms don't work on my phone.
>>
>>52453127
Ok, what one? It needs to have decent rendering and support.

>>52453222
It's always been new tab for me, since 4.1 (Samsung s3 modded stock rom)

It's probably something else.
