Will HTML5 mean new life for my G4 Powerbook that is brought to its knees by Flash?
JEBB -
If you haven't installed ClickToFlash, run, don't walk, here:
http://rentzsch.github.com/clicktoflash/
It blocks all Flash in Safari, but gives you the option to click on an individual Flash item and load it, or to whitelist an entire site so that it's not blocked (such as YouTube).
The best thing I discovered is that if you don't whitelist a site you can use the ClickToFlash menu (gear icon in top left of a CTF window) to get Flash video to load with QuickTime. Stuff on YouTube which basically was unwatchable on my TiBook plays perfectly in QuickTime. You do need Perian installed for QT to play Flash:

Good luck.

That site has both a stable version and a beta version. Should most users download the stable version?
