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.
