Before this announcement, the breakdown was this (for the HTML5 video tag):
IE9: h264
Safari: h264
Firefox: Theora (WebM?)
Chrome: Theora, WebM, h264
We had one codec (h264) that played in three of the four major browsers. Now we have no codec that plays in more than two. Google’s move has taken us further away from a standard, not closer.
