Interesting. With both Chrome, Firefox and Opera supporting it, there will still be plenty of options for viewing WebM on OS X though. I wonder what will happen to Safari if WebM gets popular?

More interesting is Mobile Safari.
Safari and Apple will have to cave in. If WebM becomes a de facto standard for video on the web, then Apple would be fools to limit their browser like that. Especially since it's patent free.
People will just install the Quicktime component, just like they'd have to install the DirectShow filter to get support in IE.
