Grubers apple loving fanboyism aside, he does make a valid point. But I think he is missing the strategy Google may have in this case. 1) Video sites are not going to re-encode all their video to WebM when the video still plays on Chrome (through flash). (grubers point) 2) Google will drop Flash video on YouTube if your browser supports WebM. Both Apple and Adobe are targeted by this move, obviously Apple because they are H.264 supporters and Adobe because.. well.. Flash. 3) As Flash becomes even less relevant (see previous point) Chrome will stop shipping with Adobe Flash, instead will require users to download the plugin like any other browser. 4) Major websites will start embracing HTML5, and with it, re-encode video to WebM, since it will work by default in most modern browsers (Firefox 4 supports WebM and Microsoft have stated they will support it in IE9 too). I'm sure Google is thinking something along those lines. Apple is a smart company so they might have a trick or two themselves. There is nothing inherently wrong with Apple supporting WebM, except that Apple are probably sick of having Google products scattered throughout iOS (youtube, gmail and maps) and this would be another Google (VP8) product they would need to integrate.
