On my system (without Flash), Facebook is one of the last sites where I encounter Flash for non-ad content. (Videos)

  They now have an html5 video player, which I think they just introduced a week ago. BBC is about the only site I've seen that requires flash video, but I'm sure they'll get with the program soon.

    So far I know NPR and Spiegel (german tabloid). All these sites work fine without flash if you set your useragent to that of a iDevice. Somebody implemented the switch between html video and flash in a foolish way.

    I so far have not gotten Facebook to serve me the html5 video player, for whatever reason.

      Stupid question perhaps, but have you disabled the flash plugin? It seems to work fine on latest Chrome.

        I don't even have it on my system. I wonder if it's some sort of UA detection thing? I tried appearing as Chrome 41 on Windows 7, but no luck. (firefox nightly on linux user here, with h.264/aac support provided by gstreamer)

          I think that Facebook only serves HTML5 video to Windows 7+, so I'm not sure why your Chrome 41 on Windows 7 test didn't work.
