We should prefer the Fetch API whenever possible. It looks like that's everywhere but IE 11 right now:

Note: @theodab has discovered that Fetch is missing timeout/abort functionality that would bring it to parity with XHR. This means we will not always be able to use Fetch.

See whatwg/fetch#20 and whatwg/fetch#447.

As an update...
It looks like they have finally settled on a design for aborting fetches.
The AbortController has been implemented but not flighted on Edge, Mozilla has an implementation in 55+ nightly, and Chrome is planning on adding it soon. So it might not be too long till we can use Fetch.

Allowed multiple plugins for one scheme
fefe934 
This modified the networking engine to store every plugin it is given
for a scheme, and adds a priority system to pick which of the plugins
to use.

AbortableOperation interface
e5afb35 
This adds a general interface for abortable operations, and a specific
implementation of that interface for use internally.  This should
simplify the transition to abortable network requests and others.

Use AbortableOperation in networking
2f55d2a 
This uses AbortableOperation in all networking, from the scheme
plugins all the way to the request interface.

This also updates all default scheme plugins, docs, and sample code.

Backward compatibility is provided for scheme plugins and the
request API in NetworkingEngine.  This compatibility will be
removed in v2.5.

Two cancelation-related tests have been disabled in
player_integration until the new abort interface has been adopted
in the manifest parsers.

Use OperationManager in HLS and DASH parsers
f428ec8 
This adds OperationManager to HLS and DASH parsers to allow them to
abort and clean up network operations when stopped.  We now re-enable
the player integration tests that were written to prove the previous
polling-based cancelation model.

Add one more test for AbortableOperation
6910648 
This is a regression test for an implementation bug we caught before
it was released.  It took a little longer to get the regression test
working, so this was deferred to a later commit.

We now have a fetch request scheme plugin. Note that, because this requires both the fetch API and the AbortController API, as of this moment it will only be used on Firefox and Edge.

Chrome implementation bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=750599

It looks like some or all of the implementation of AbortController landed in Chrome early this week. I haven't talked to Chrome team to confirm, but I expect it would launch in Chrome 66, due out in late April.
