YouTube5, Chromed
november 2010 by minorjive
Works great at getting HTML5 goodness into YouTube.
You can set the maximum resolution of the video to use (360 or 720p).
Normal fullscreen mode does not currently work. This has to do with Chrome's native video player not having the ability, not the extension itself. A workaround is to right-click on the video and "open video in new tab", which will open a tab with just the video at full resolution. If you use 720p that should be pretty big.
UPDATE: I wish this worked better. Porting the Safari extension involved very few changes. Any problems with getting this to work have to do with Chrome's native video player, and how YouTube reacts to Chrome browsers vs Safari. I'll see what I can do to improve things. Basically: one video will work, and another will not. I think it has to do with if there's a WebM (vs H.264) version. This does still work on many videos. But it's not quite there. Keep checking.

Daring Fireball: Going Flash-Free on Mac OS X, and How to Cheat When You Need It
november 2010 by minorjive
Last week I mentioned that, following Steven Frank’s lead, I’d completely disabled Flash Player on my Mac. But I have a cheat, for web pages with Flash content with no non-Flash workaround. I’m really happy with this setup, so I thought I’d document it here.
