Amazon Prime Video Now Supports HTML5 Playback in Safari

by John_A

Amazon Prime Video’s HTML5 video player now supports Safari on Mac, as spotted by Reddit user netmute over the weekend.

Amazon Prime Video previously required downloading the Microsoft Silverlight plugin for playback in Safari, or switching to an alternative browser such as Chrome or Firefox, which already supported HTML5.

Some users on Reddit reported that, while HTML5 is now supported, AirPlay Mirroring and Picture in Picture functionality is lacking.
