FWIW, I don't believe Google was pushing a patent encumbered web, or H.264. Their VP8/VP9,VP10 funding speaks for itself.

No one wants a monopoly in the browser space, and it seems like Mozilla has some other bone to pick with Google. As stated before, developers and web users come before Mozilla's philosophy, and many of the objections to Google's proposals don't seem to further that mission. Maybe some of it is in Mozilla's self preservation interests, I don't really know. But a lot of Google outrage seems feigned, and contrary to developer and user interest.

If you haven't noticed, most devs here haven't raised any technical objections, instead seem pleased with the offering, that's a hint in itself
