YouTube uses HTML5 on my machines, since I don't have Flash installed. It works fine.

Don't get me started on how terrible all of it is on Linux. Incapable of dual screen full screen in flash, HTML5 has to buffer every time you enter full screen mode.

Incredible slow performance, buggy, crashes. I actually have to boot into Windows VM just to watch flash/youtube.
