Apple does not support, Google do everything possible to find ways to have support, such as Flash for Mobile. Apple support, Google must do everything possible to find ways to not support, such as H.264 video encoding.

Today Chromium Blog announced support for Chrome in the HTML 5 code, there is a shift in strategy. Although the H.264 video encoding on encoding in HTML5 occupies an important place, but because of Google’s goal is to open up everything, so in the next few months will be removed on the H.264 encoding Chrome support. Of course, open to the Theora encoder and encoding VP8 Google’s own support will not change.

Google did not immediately removed from the H.264 encoding in support of Chrome is to give you a H.264 encoded video with an ultimatum to the next site, so that they “lost”, and quickly abandoned during these months of H. 264 support.

Honestly, that sounds really too high, Google has been advocating the right to the customers should choose, H.264 how this choice was life and life deprived of it? Because it is not open? Because it is strongly supported by Apple? Then why not 100% open source Chrome in Flash can live in it? Chrome 15% of the market share is the need to play a role at this time it?

YouTube Why not give up on the implementation of this policy H.264 support it? Oh yeah, like that in the YouTube application iOS also abolished the … … Google can not do this, but the taste of feel good self-split personality.

Update: GOS dig out an Android boss Andy Rubin told The New York Times interview,for Android 2.2 supports Flash event to ridicule Apple remark:

The so-called open, is not something the consumer really like enemies.

H.264 is the video site loved by consumers and video encoding formats, and now Chrome fight with the enemy of the things you like.
