No flash support, incomplete HTML5 videoplayer support, no java support (?) for midori(-granite) - IMHO release blocker

 

Hey,

I want to note that the missing flash support for the new midori and very
poor html5 videoplayer support, like not even youtube is supported, is in
my eyes, a release blocker.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/midori/+bug/767442

https://bugs.launchpad.net/midori/+bug/1063385

And it seems like, there is no java support as well, but I can't confirm
that.

I very often read, that you would be able to fix this trough installing
this, and this or this package... (ndiswrapper, etc.)

Please say me, which package is needed, and how should our users know this??

If they tick the "restricted software" checkbox, they should get flash
support, as well when installing ubuntu-restricted-extras (it basicly gets
installed when users tick this box?)

I want to note that other software webbrowsers, like GNOME's web, that use
webkitgtk+ have the same problems currently.
