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.
