But the fact is, it usually works better than other alternatives.

They switched to HTML5 because Flash no longer worked in Chrome, it's explained in the article. That said, this "HTML5" solution looks very much like a WebKit-only solution instead, so meh.

No, they switched because chrome no longer has flash. Not because it didn't work. My point was, chrome solution for replacing flash doesn't work as good as flash.

If X lacks flash, then flash definitely doesn't work in X.

It works better as in "is supported on more platforms". But here we were solving the Chrome problem specifically.
