    Is there a plugin with which I can download the videos? I used to use downloadhelper with firefox for flash and that worked great. Now it says that I should install a converter but I'd rather download it without the conversion process.

    Tips?

    hint: migrate to Pale Moon browser (if you miss ol' fashioned good FF) and by default, youtube will stick with flash :infinity:

    p.s. note that lately that crappy website, REGARDLESS of what browser you do use, broke full GPU Flash Hardware Acceleration in windowed mode - no issues when turning on fullscreen :nerd:

    Flash video needs to die in a fire.

    Youtube html5 1080p60 - zero issues, perfect playback.

    HBO GO 720p flash video - stuttering mess with and without Hardware Accl, etc.

    would you mind telling that to my poor ol' netbook? :bang: :pc1: HTML5 is cpu demanding, so that's a no go with a V105 as processor. However its integrated HD4225 is capable of flash hw decoding -> playback IZ possible ^^:nerd:

    Well my 10 year old Dell laptop chokes on 360p flash videos, so I basically don't use that to watch videos.
