Overview

  • The YouTube Flash HTML Player is a multi-browser (Firefox, Chrome and Opera) Addon that offers the user the unique ability to play any YouTube video in Flash and HTML5 format - That's right folks you read it right - YouTube videos in all their glory, plus, the option to view them in multiple formats.

They might take too much space on your system but will give you a viewer experience you could take to the bank with you.
