I’ve been running YouTube on html5 since a couple of weeks, and I must say: Thank god for html5 and the sudden push behind it.

Flash on mac (chrome / safari / firefox) is extremely instable and slow. I really thought of switching back to windows or maybe ubuntu, only because flash kept crashing and, even worse, bogging down my whole browser.

Now, with the new Chrome things are slightly better, but ever since I’ve switched on html5 on youtube , my browser is much more stable and responsive.

Chrome still has those pesky hanging chrome helper bugs though…
