‘FF supporting H264’ isn’t truthful though, they’re delegating to the platform to supply a codec… so far only on Windows after XP.
So nothing for Firefox Linux, Firefox Mac, Firefox Windows XP… it’s not as won as you think.
@ “How patents are ruining the adoption of HTML5 video” link
with FF supporting H264 and Opera switching to Blink, i can hardly see why this article is supposed to be relevant…
like it or not – H264 have won.
