As of December 31st, 2020, Adobe Flash Player has stopped receiving support from Adobe,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Adobe Flash Player End of Life |url=https://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/end-of-life.html |access-date=2023-01-28 |website=www.adobe.com |language=en-US}}</ref> with HTML5 video being one of the main technologies replacing it.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Team |first=Adobe Communications |title=Flash & the Future of Interactive Content |url=https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2017/07/25/adobe-flash-update |access-date=2023-01-28 |website=Adobe Blog}}</ref>

{{As of|2010|May}}, HTML5 video is not currently as widespread as Flash videos, though of recent rollouts of experimental HTML5-based video players on websites, DailyMotion is so far the only one to use Ogg Theora and Vorbis formats,<ref>{{cite web |title=Watch Video…without Flash |publisher=Dailymotion |date=2009-05-27 |url=http://blog.dailymotion.com/index.php/2009/05/27/watch-videowithout-flash/ |access-date=2010-05-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100822205946/http://blog.dailymotion.com/index.php/2009/05/27/watch-videowithout-flash/ |archive-date=2010-08-22 |url-status=dead }}</ref> which suggests an increasing early interest in adopting HTML5 video.

"[[WebRTC]] Audio Codec and Processing Requirements" Internet standard drafts, published in 2011–2013, require free formats, including [[Opus (audio codec)|Opus]], which was developed, among others, by programmers associated with [[Xiph.Org Foundation]] (the maintainer of [[Ogg]]).<ref>{{Cite document|url=http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-rtcweb-audio-03|title = WebRTC Audio Codec and Processing Requirements|last1 = Valin|first1 = Jean-Marc|last2 = Bran|first2 = Cary}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url=https://wiki.xiph.org/OpusFAQ | title=OpusFAQ - XiphWiki }}</ref><!-- does WebRTC use Opus in Ogg? -->
