Ok I am going to say it: I think this finally secures a big big future for Chrome.
It will now be the only browser to support all three of the main codecs - and Google will control one of the two open source / royalty free ones (indeed it's arguable that status may be more secure that Ogg Theora because, simply, Google are likely to aggressively defend any submarine attacks).
All told - great news.
- stanleydrew 17y agoI think Chrome already had a big future, but you are still very right that this is a huge win for the browser.

Also clean design with native widgets on supported platforms and overall crazy fast (when I boot my computer, Chrome is the first app the starts). Mozilla should be worried.
