You don't exist either, Khh.

I used to use Firefox, but when Chrome came out with extensions, I finally made the switch. Firefox was getting to be so damn clunky, and it doesn't help that I have an older computer.

If I don't exist then you shouldn't be talking to me. It'll only make your psychosis worse.

Well, i will confess that i have just made the transistion to Chrome... it's way faster and lighter. It also has most of the same extensions Firefox has... So, Firefox has met her match, and been 1+

I don't see a picture-in-picture feature.

I don't know about anyone else, but I much prefer playing youtube videos outside the browser

It's always jarred with me, the fact that youtube is traditionally tied to the browser pane
(It's a video - I want to browse other things whilst watching it....)

I tend to use Totem (default Ubuntu video player) with the youtube plugin thing

I can then sticky the video to all workspaces, and continue to browse the web and flip around my desktops

Much more usable than having video confined to the browser
(added benefit, is the videos are streamed in H.264, rather than flash's crappy swf)

Actually the flash video format is flv, and with flash > 9 it supports H.264 encoding :p
Other than that, moving the video to an external application seems like a great idea.

well, whatever
streaming H.264 via flash via a browser plugin pegs my cpu @ 20%
streaming H.264 straight to my video player = 10%

Except the hallucinatory conversations have become much, much more fun than real ones. I find talking to what is technically myself quite entertaining.
