Blizzard: HTML5 video and H.264 - what history tells us and why we're standing with the webBlizzard: HTML5 video and H.264 - what history tells us and why we're standing with the webPosted Jan 26, 2010 2:12 UTC (Tue) by roc (subscriber, #30627)In reply to: Blizzard: HTML5 video and H.264 - what history tells us and why we're standing with the web by danpb Parent article: Blizzard: HTML5 video and H.264 - what history tells us and why we're standing with the web
Mozilla has often made decisions that favour what we see as "the good of the Web" over the immediate convenience of our users. For example, we resisted supporting ActiveX, which is a good thing since if we hadn't there would be no Web browsing on any platform but Windows now. See

Access to third-party codecs doesn't solve any problem for most of our users, since Windows XP and Vista don't include an H.264 codec.
