Microsoft has released an HTML5 video-player extension for the Chrome browser to counteract Google's decision to drop support for the most widely used HTML5 video format.
Conversely, Microsoft has also promised to support Internet Explorer 9 users who want to view videos in the Google-backed WebM format.
Google recently decided to strip out support for the H.264 video codec from the Chrome browser, even though it's more popular than Google's own WebM.
Oh the irony of it all.
please delete...it’s a dupe.
