It COULD be that Youtube is changing things on the back end, based on your
browser's ID string. Turn on Safari's Developer menu and change your User Agent
string and see what happens.
I tried Chrome, Firefox, Opera, and Camino User Agent strings in Safari and they
all loaded youtube.com fine.
A larger point is: you have browsers that work, why are you worrying over the
ones that won't?
Simply because I liked not having Flash in all of my browsers, that was the only
reason I started using Chrome in the first place. Any page with Flash that I want
to see I drag the url to ShoveBox for later viewing and I avoid Flash issues with
my primary browser. I am familiar with ClickToFlash but it just seemed better to
keep Flash in just the one browser.
