Chrome is dropping H.264 video support. Adobe should be cheering, considering that this will likely artificially prop up Flash video. If you want to host videos, you have four choices: do HTML5 with H.264 only and lose all Firefox and Chrome users, do WebM only and lost Safari and IE9 users, do both, or do Flash and get everybody. Okay, everybody except mobile users, but still.
Update 01/15/11: Or maybe it won't kill HTML5 video, since Google will be providing a free plug-in to make WebM video work on Safari and IE9. Good for them.
