So I jump to yacy.net for instruction, and I am greeted by a screen that says 'Please switch to a browser with native H.264 support or install Adobe flash player'. Not the best way to attract free software activists.

F$DS, will the complaining that people use popular sites like vimeo to host their videos never stop? Sure Youtube would have been better, but come on, without a h264 decoder you miss out on so many videos that you shouldn't be bothered by one more.

Vimeo supports WebM. I never missed H264 support in Firefox.
