I do the opposite, disabling Flash in chrome (about:plugins) and using Safari when I really need Flash to access stubborn websites.

However, no Youtube5-like extension for Chrome seems to work for me.




I believe anyone can opt-in to the YouTube HTML5 trial: http://www.youtube.com/html5


It doesn't affect embedded YouTube videos across the web.

That's the problem YouTube5 solves.


Unfortunately, there are features in the Flash version of YouTube player which aren't available in the HTML5 version, such as subtitles. I've watched several videos where I didn't get the joke because the subtitles were missing :p
