Media Source Extensions (MSE) is a W3C specification that allows JavaScript to send byte streams to media codecs within web browsers that support HTML video and audio. [5] Among other possible uses, this allows the implementation of client-side prefetching and buffering code for streaming media entirely in JavaScript .
Internet Explorer was the first major browser to support extensions, with the release of version 4 in 1997. [1] Firefox has supported extensions since its launch in 2004. Opera and Chrome began supporting extensions in 2009, [2] and Safari did so the following year. Microsoft Edge added extension support in 2016. [3]
Chrome Web Store was publicly unveiled in December 2010, [2] and was opened on February 11, 2011, with the release of Google Chrome 9.0. [3] A year later it was redesigned to "catalyze a big increase in traffic, across downloads, users, and total number of apps". [4]
NoScript can force the browser to always use HTTPS when establishing connections to some sensitive sites, in order to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks. This behavior can be triggered either by the websites themselves, by sending the Strict Transport Security header, or configured by users for those websites that don't support Strict Transport Security yet.

User agents are free to support any video formats they feel are appropriate, but content authors cannot assume that any video will be accessible by all complying user agents, since user agents have no minimal set of video and audio formats to support.
The adoption of HTML audio, as with HTML video, has become polarized between proponents of free and patent-encumbered formats. In 2007, the recommendation to use Vorbis was retracted from the HTML5 specification by the W3C together with that to use Ogg Theora, citing the lack of a format accepted by all the major browser vendors.
