Comment on CDN vs S3parent

Both buffer while paused on Chrome iOS.

Note that Chrome on iOS is basically unrelated to every other version of Chrome. Due to Apple's silly rules, it's essentially just a reskinned Safari.

Chrome on iOS is probably using Apple's AVPlayer, which makes sense because there is probably no other way to access the dedicated decoding hardware. Apple is not afraid to Cache an HTTP 1.0 206 response.

Both are buffering fine for me on Chrome for Android, too.
