Basically all HTML5 players need to transmux the MPEG2-TS (transport stream) segments to MP4 as most browsers do not support MPEG2-TS natively.

There are actually a few HTML5 players available which are capable of playing back HLS streams. One example would be the Bitmovin Player, which offers professional support as well as a fallback for legacy browsers. It's a commercial product, but they also provides a free plan.

Also open-source projects like hls.js are available.

However, with Apple's announcement from this year's WWDC it's now also possible to use MP4 segments with HLS, which eliminates the need to transmux. More details on how to do it and advantages are outlined pretty well in this article. Not sure which players support it, at least Apple's native implementation in Safari on iOS 10 and macOS; also Bitmovin already supports it.
