- bane 12y agoWell, we got rid of flash and replaced it with Javascript and HTML5 and whatever, so your theory holds.

- Narishma 12y agoNot for everyone. In my case, I have to use browser extensions to force Youtube to use the Flash player because the HTML5 one doesn't do hardware accelerated playback for some reason and drains my laptop's battery like crazy (not to mention the fan noise).
