I remember earlier in the year Youtube entered everyone into the HTML5 beta to replace Flash for youtube. I honestly can't remember if other sites did likewise but what's annoying me is that the HTML5 player is utter garbage. As an example I like to watch the videos in fullscreen but I have a secondary monitor which I use for stuff like chatting to people on Skype etc. But every time it happens, the video minimises back to the site. It also starts and the flash blocker blocks the video but not the start/stop controls or the volume.

Thanks for any help rendered.

How to disable the HTML5 player?

Go to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and click "leave the HTML5 trial" at the bottom.

Does that work?
