You seem to be arguing that dropping H.264 <video> from Chrome will spur adoption of WebM. As many have pointed out, including the parent, a more likely scenario is it will spur adoption of Flash+H.264. Path of least resistance and all that.
Playing hardball is fine, but you've got to be sure you are actually playing and not merely whacking random spectators in the nuts.
- tintin 16y agoI'm not sure this will happen. The only users who are unable to watch WebM are iPhone/iPad/Safari users. You can use WebM in IE9 (when you install the codec). So as a webdeveloper the path of the least resistance for me will be WebM. You'll get support in Chrome, Firefox, Opera and IE9.
