And of course its half-done. Asks me if I want the site to allow use of my non existing camera, and the options dropdown just has a (none) entry in it.
It's the same approach as with downloads. To this day, the only browser to support resuming downloads (and making use of HTTP range) is Opera.
Opera is not the only browser to support resuming downloads. With the appropriate server headers and local state, Safari and FireFox can also resume downloads.
As a developer I like that I can use the API now instead of just reading about it. Chrome rolls out updates very smoothly and rapidly, who cares if the initial support of a very new standard is not perfect? It sure beats the support that FireFox, IE and Safari have (none).
For this particular feature; there are plenty that Chrome doesn't support fully (IndexedDB) or at all (CSS calc) that those other browsers have had for quite a long time.
Tell me I don't have a webcam connected and inform me that this site requires one, and possibly wait for me to connect one.
Right now, I get the permission bar, click "accept" and it fails silently. And the "none" thing is really just a bad taste; you don't offer UI elements when they don't do anything.
(I didn't try, but I think that permission dialog wouldn't even recognize it when I connected a camera after it opened)
