They may not default to it, but Youtube[1], Vimeo[2], and a few other places have HTML5 players available; I have them all turned on. HTML5 video is still in beta, but it's somewhat easier to build into a page than Flash and its development environment doesn't cost $500. The fact that it edged into Flash's market in the first place says something.

- whatever_dude 15y agoThe fact that they're available, and you have voluntarily opted in, doesn't mean it's being replaced. Unless your count your household as a sole representative of the web in general. Still waiting for facts and figures.
- saulrh 15y agoMy point is that the two largest video distributors both provide and maintain html5 players. The fact that they're putting in so much effort means that there is demand for HTML5 video and that people are actually using it. Furthermore, Apple mobile browsers don't have Flash, and their browser market share is steadily increasing. I don't have any hard figures, but even that says something; Adobe has every reason to release stats that support Flash, which suggests that it those stats don't exist. Either way, HTML5 video adoption is certainly not descreasing, and there are several signs that it is increasing.
