Do you smell that? Just wait a second. You will. Though H.264 plays an important role in video, as our goal is to enable open innovation, support for the codec will be removed and our resources directed towards completely open codec technologies.The bolding is mine, but that's Google's actual statement as to why they're dropping support for the H.264 video codec from the Chromium open source browser (from which Chrome is built). Erick wrote up the main story earlier today, but in my opinion, he didn't go far enough in calling bullshit on this�maneuver. Namely, how on Earth can Google get away with dropping support for one popular codec under the guise of "open" when baked into their browser is Flash, the decidedly un-open plug-in?
