I still use Flash for youtube (with an add-on that enforces it) because Firefox doesn't seem to be able to handle my 4-monitor Xmonad setup properly with HTML5 fullscreen video. And the process also locks up my soundcard until I kill the process. Flash behaves much better. After youtube ditches its Flash player altogether, I guess it's chromium for YT then. No biggie.

Same with me as well, Firefox or Chrome both are slower with HTML5 media versus flash. Flash video runs faster than HTML5 and also has hardware acceleration which HTML5 fails at on my hardware, a couple of laptops and a desktop rig.
