i just turn the flash plugin off fully. as long as the video is on youtube there is the mytube app. but i have yet to run into any kind of "must see it now" video.

thing is that i see the web getting where it is now but virtue of its basic building blocks being free to use in any way or form that someone can think of. flash, silverlight and similar breaks with that. java did to, but it seems sun is planing to go GPL on it fully. still, somehow i suspect thats more like a captain of a warship sinking it so that it do not fall into enemy hands...

basically i want to see any kind of media plugin banished to the fiery pits of hell.
