OpenGL unification.

[Nintonito]

Khronos has announces their plan for the next version of GL. One of the biggest confirmed changes is the elimination of the separate ES path, and the unification of openGL across platforms. Sounds great for the android project, means no more separate backend.

[Sonicadvance1]

the GL backends are already combined, so this change is nothing to us.

Does this mean we'll have dxt re/decompression on Android for firefox, chrome & opera? Dolphin browser "no relation to the emulator here" still supports flash via hacks on kitkat but has no support for webgl.

still lists it as unsupported in latest browser versions and it's been nearly two years now.
Antialiasing is missing in chrome also but it's listed in firefox

firefox also has extra extensions
