 Replying to [comment:11 sergiomdgomes]:
 > Loading and running this much JS is likely going to be a problem on
 lower-end (and even mid-range) devices, which not only include things like
 mobile phones and tablets, but also some Chromebooks and other budget
 devices.

 Just to note that there are checks to avoid client-side media processing
 on such devices
