Dump Flash, At Last!!!



Sick and Tired of having to

use Flash to View

YouTube Videos?



----------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------

On Linux and Mac OS X, the flash implementation takes up over half the

available CPU and at high-resolutions stuttering occurs. HTML5 poses the

answer providing a way for browsers to use the native implementations to render

videos directly in the browser without resorting to ActiveX and 3rd-party browser

plugins... it just has yet to be embraced.

But now you can uninstall Flash and enjoy your online videos in peace.

Just go to

http://neosmart.net/YouTube5/

and enter the URL of a video to watch it in the

embedded HTML5 viewer.

Yes, you can skip, skim, pause, resume away to your heart's content.

Even better, we've written a GreaseMonkey/UserScript to add a link to all

YouTube video pages that points to the HTML5 version,

leaving you with no excuse to still use the Flash interface!
