Mozilla will add H.264 to Firefox as Cisco makes push for WebRTC’s future
No matter what codec will eventually be widely adopted, I hope native video support for browsers will lead to better video players. Right now, I have issues with YouTube (loading speed, quality switching back and forth between 480p, 720p and 240p), Vimeo (still can't jump to a desired position, loads incredibly slowly), various Flash embedded players (won't load, or will reset to 0:00 when trying to change the current position), auto-playing videos, lack of controls, usability issues...I usually end up downloading the video with a Firefox add-on to watch it later. Or just stop bothering and close the tab.
