The only reason I kept Chrome around is because I occasionally wanted to watch Youtube videos that were Flash only. I wasn't going to install Flash system-wide, so I was grateful for Google's approach of maintaining a private Flash instance. Now, that usecase is become less of a problem, so I can ditch Chrome, which I never used otherwise.
- simlevesque 12y agoYou could have watched a video on Youtube on Firefox for the last year at least. It was a setting in your Youtube account.

- simlevesque 12y agoDo these people use Chrome ?
- jfb 12y agoIt was the best way to run Flash programs without installing Flash system-wide.
- polshaw 12y agoParent was a bit wrong; you didn't need an account or to be signed in. IIRC, you went to youtube.com/html5 and enabled it.

- delsalk 12y ago>I occasionally wanted to watch Youtube videos that were Flash only Are there any examples of flash only video? I used to use a 3rd party extension that would show videos in html5 and i never came accross any video that required me to load it in flash. I'm curious how Youtube tries to deliver those videos now.
