YouTube has just launched an opt-in beta to support a HTML 5 instead of the flash player that we’re used to. If you’re like me you try to avoid using Flash where-ever possible, and HTML 5′s video support is a step closer to a Flash-free web.
The beta currently supports the following browsers:
- Google Chrome
- Safari (4+)
- Internet Explorer with Chrome Frame installed
If you’re using one of these browsers, jump on to the YouTube HTML 5 beta page to opt-in and start trying out the Flash-free video player.
By default, the flash is good. But never mind switching to newer technologies.
Flash is generally expectable on YouTube even thought it may lack at times but I’ve switched to html5 now
That’s awesome. HTML5 FTW. This is the first time I see the link actually, im going to opt in for sure!
