20% of the browser market was never going to adopt H.264. That's a fifth of the market cut out from using <video> entirely.
How in the world is that possibly good for web standards?

That majority of the market has the entrenched Flash until HTML5 <video> gets sorted out as a standard everyone can use.

- evgen 16y agoAll lists for browser share that I have seen show FF as having either plateaued or started to drop by small percentages. If you add mobile browsers into the mix then even the plateau becomes a small drop.
- sid0 16y agoAnd you really think that going to continue once Firefox 4 and Firefox for Android are released? Firefox is going to be relevant for a long while, so comparing it to IE6 is pretty disingenuous.
