Ny way to bring back H.264 support in Chromium

chrome-extensionsencodinggoogle-chromeweb-browsing

I'm using Chrome on a daily basis or to be exact, latest-builds of Chromium. I recently uninstalled Flash, in order to increase battery life on my MBP and in general rid my laptop of the evil Flash imply.

Now with Chromium's drop of H.264 codec support, enjoying the web is becoming harder and harder. Is there any way to re-enable H.264 support in Chromium?

I know Microsoft (of all players) released such a codec plugin for Chrome recently. Safari isn't really an option although it's sweet.

While announced in January, Chrome hasn't actually dropped support for H264 yet.
