Midnight Fragfest

In an attempt to finally, and fully remove flash from my system, I’ve written an add-on for firefox that allows me to play HTML5 video sites such as youtube and vimeo using the video player plugins from the browser instead of the built in player. (Which doesn’t work with h.264 video for legal reasons). Check it out.

For the record, I hope I DON’T have to keep this add-on around long, and that youtube and the other major video sites gain theora support soon. This was written so that I can get rid of flash NOW, and rid myself of all the browser lockups it causes, and things such as eating up 800MB of ram with only two tabs open…
