Firefox is on a slippery slope

You actually don't have real control over Chrome. Only Chromium is open source, and then you won't have all the features you surely use. Like videos working.

Edit: (+) Sir_Cmpwn, At least not working for me when I try seeing the pages with H264 encoded ones, and when I search, this is what I find:

"What Chrome Has That Chromium Doesn’t

AAC, H.264, and MP3 Support.

Adobe Flash (PPAPI)."

Chromium is not equal Chrome.

I use chromium on Linux as my main desktop browser. I assure you it plays videos. The only thing it doesn't do is play DRM'd video, which is a feature.

It plays non-DRM H.264 videos? Or maybe you're depending on sites to have multiple versions?

I just tested it, seems to work fine on Chromium.

Videos work on Chromium.
