Given that Flash is being minimally maintained for linux, it's nice that Youtube has gon over to HTML5, but there are still a few hiccups that I ran into.
There's a link you can go to, to set your browser to default to HTML5 for Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/html5
I find myself increasingly annoyed with youtube (even with html5), and find relief in using scripts to access its content. Such as:
https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/
There are also other applications like: http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube http://smplayer.sourceforge.net
youtube-dl is awesome. I've also been playing around with whitey: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/whitey I can't actually get it to play properly... but the command line search is pretty cool (though lack of thumbnails sometimes makes that difficult). I'll typically copy the URLs to youtube-dl to view.
