HTML5
HTML5 has fewer plug-ins like the ability to standardize how audio and video are presented on a Web page. It introduces the <video> element designed to remove the need to install 3rd party add-ons and plug-ins like adobe flash player. It also adds the <audio> element too that allows pages to smoothly add audio files.
Many admins set their firewalls to drop echo-request packets to prevent their networks from being mapped via "Ping Sweeps".
A remote possibility is that there's too many hops between the source and target and the packet's TTL expires.
