I can't afford to make a popular browser, though. Sure I can fork one in a second, but if people started using it a lot, I'd be screwed.
Only make a popular browser if you're rich enough to support H.264, I think is the lesson.
- anonymous246 16y agoBoth commonly used OS's (Windows and Mac) have OS-level services to play H.264. No need for browser to license anything. In this instance, Mozilla has gone out of it's way to not use the OS-level facility, forcing Microsoft to write a plugin to make that happen.
- beej71 16y agoWell, FWIW, I disagree with Firefox not using it if its free to use. However, I still totally object to H.264 being a requirement in the spec.
