      (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%

      "There's nothing better than knowing what it's like to fly like superman. Being fully aware of the air whipping by you, controlling every movement of every single atom in your body with a single thought. It's real freedom, and there's not a word good enough to describe it, so I'll just call it dreamy for now."

      I tried to install the adblocker for Chrome...gave up after 30 minutes of trying to sort things out. Not exactly user-friendly...

      Really? Maybe you're doing it wrong. I googled "Chrome adblocker", hit the second or third link, clicked "install addon" and bye-bye ads.

      I got this thing that involved unzipping files, creating arbitrary directories, installing more add-ons so you could install the one you want, enabling javascript, altering settings...ick. When they get a one-touch button, we'll talk. Until then, I'm sticking to sweet, simple, easy-to-use Firefox...
