HTML5 support for video on computer browsers.
HTML5 support for video on desktop browsers. Flash crashes Safari a lot, so HTML5 would be ideal. IGN is the only site left that I go to that doesn't support HTML5 video on computers.

I'd toss more of my votes into this if I could.

To anyone that has voted on this, you can enable HTML5 playback, but it's less than ideal. If you use Safari, go to your Preferences and enable the Develop menu (in the Advanced tab). Then, under the Develop menu, navigate to User Agent and set it to iPad. This will fool IGN into thinking you are using an iPad to browse their site and enable HTML5 video. The quality isn't as great as one would hope for on a computer, but if you absolutely don't want Flash, it's a decent workaround until IGN supports HTML5 for computer browsers. (This "fix" will also work on YouTube)

Flash also just runs poorly on my computer. I can play the videos just fine through the HTML5 player in my browser or in any given video player, but Flash is just crap.
