By "tied to chrome's inner workings" I meant the implementation itself which can't be lifted off of Chrome because of that.
By "tied to chrome's inner workings" I meant the implementation itself which can't be lifted off of Chrome because of that. So PPAPI would need to be re-implemented by other browsers which is difficult as it's very much a moving target without an official standards process. Basically what happens is that their flash plugin or some internal chrome app needs feature X at which point they extend PPAPI to have feature X. Trying to play catch-up with this kind of development is frustrating and difficult. And aside of that, browser vendors don't like the fact that PPAPI is more or less re-implementing other existing web technologies. Here's a writeup by Robert O'Callahan from 2010 that goes into this reasoning: https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/plugin-futures/2010-April...
