nope. that doesn't work :)

even applying &html5=1 to video GET query strings doesn't work either on most videos

i took this screenshot http://i.imgur.com/GYhj4.png - which shows that html5 trial enabled still doesn't fix the issue, the only fix is the extension right now :)



Same. If I reapply my html5 settings, it seems to work for a few videos then reverts back to flash.


i can confirm this. i have joined html5 trial but some videos still refuse to work. this extension seems to fix that.


I believe it doesn't work for videos that have ads attached.

Videos with ads play perfectly fine with mobile clients (i.e. without Flash) or with Desktop browser faking mobile UA string, so there are no technical limitations.


works for me!


are you using chrome? have you tried multiple videos? do you have flash disabled?

edit: i've confirmed with multiple users that this extension is the only solution to chrome w/flash disabled


send me any link.
