Screw Firefox
Hearing that Mozilla is still planning to boycott h.264 even though MPEG LA just announced that freely streaming videos using the codec will never incur fees annoys the hell out of me. They are doing nothing but throwing sand in the gears of everyone else trying to create the HTML5 video standard. If h.264 wasn’t already prevalent on the web or this was a war for the “final codec” I could probably get behind them on their decision, but that isn’t the case. H.264 will eventually be replaced by a better codec anyway, so watching these freetards disrupt things because “patents-R-bad” makes me want to do everything in my power to drive people away from their products. One thing is for sure, I won’t be caught dead using a web browser that forces me to use Flash to watch a video because it’s encoded in h.264.
Goodbye Firefox.
