Uughh why do we need this whole new html element and not simply make the getUserMedia API allowed to be called more than once if the initiator is a user click?

Is this Chrome only or something the other browsers are working on, too? A quick web search does not seem to produce any relevant hits.

Chrome basically is abusing its market position, 69.65% globally, and becomes the new IE. Implementing its own HTML/JS standard.
The sad truth is, some companies will look at Statcounter[0] and say because Firefox does not reach 5% global population and decided not supporting it, actively or passively.
New is old and old is new. Back in 2010 the W3C had originally proposed camera access via the `<device>` tag.
Opera even shipped a build supporting it.
