MysterySword Wrote:Firefox 3.6 or 3.7 Alpha supports it, I've heard. Most browsers either support it or are going to do so. IE is the biggest problem, though. Microsoft has never cared too much for web standards.

EDIT: Firefox 3.5 supports HTML5? Guess I have to have an addon, 'cause it never wanted to work for me.

I assume you mean the HTML5 <video> element.  I'm not even sure if the HTML5 standard has been finalised yet...
Anyway, Firefox 3.5 added support for the <video> element, but they will probably never add H.264 decoding (required for Youtube to work with the <video> tag).

I expect Google is going to leverage off IE's lack of support for the <video> tag - something like "to see this video download Chrome frame!".

Perhaps, I guess this just offloads the task to the browser developers though.  You mean that the <video> tag uses 20% less CPU than the Flash decoder?
