It's not clear exactly what you're asking, so I'll answer all of the
questions that you might be:

Do all of the popular browsers support <video>?

Yes <http://caniuse.com/#feat=video>

Do they all use GStreamer?

No, Chrome uses FFMPEG. Safari uses AVFoundation. IE uses something
Windows-y. The browsers that don't use GStreamer probably have no
interest in it.

Does GStreamer support WebM and VP8?

Yes

and yes
