Default Why would I want HTML5?

Besides not wanting bloatware to put my computer into turtle mode, Ive
heard that HTML5 is just another gateway to allow malware on my system.


Yes, I have exactly the same problem.

Sometime ago I upgraded to an older version of Firefox because the
newer bloated versions made my computer run too slowly, and now I keep
getting told that my browser can't view videos -- not that I'd want to
in most cases anyway.
