> You kind of buried this but this is the true deal breaker.

Well i mentionned it. I'm at least partially intellectually honest :)

> Firefox doesn't support WebM yet. You'll have to wait on version 4 (0% market share right now as you said for IE9)

That's totally true, but from experience and statistical evidence, i think firefox users are more inclined to upgrade their browser than IE user are.

> There aren't (and probably won't be) hardware WebM decoders.

I don't think that's true

Very true. Our site has had for a while only a couple percent of non 3.5+ Firefox traffic.


There are hardware decoders but nobody uses them at this point. It will be a very long very painful process. I am not sure whether it is good or bad.
