This is wonderful news -- it is a shame that it has to occur on such an abysmal browser though. - Chris

Another step towards an open web -- Google's Chrome browser is going to support Theora video natively with the HTML5 video tag:

(Mozilla has already committed to this--and funded some of our development of video support also!--and it looks like Opera will as well. Video site Dailymotion is now using open video as well: http://www.0xdeadbeef.com/weblog/?p=1312 )
If it weren't for Wikimedia using it, this work probably wouldn't have gone into enabling native browser support for it. So thanks to all for your work on this. :-)
Cheers, Kat
