    To those that give a damn: link

    While not perfect, and this may be old news to some, this is a
    big step forward to decresing the relevance flash will have in years
    to come. No fullscreen/HD yet, but this issues will eventually resolve.

    The mp4 decoder issue is still a legal problem, but the use of Ogg Vorbis
    and Theora for audio/video respectively should solve the legal problems.

    I am viewing videos under the latest stable build of Chrome, with
    the non free codecs. The greasemonkey script is very handy.

    For Ubuntu/Debian/I_ported_apt_to_NetBSD! people: 
    apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-nonfree

    Best of all, cpu usage is hovering around 18% at most, so
    it runs very well on 32 and 64 bit archs. The same can't be said
    for flash 10 x86_64...
