DownloadHelper is pretty great if you're using Firefox (supports more than
just Youtube) and there are user scripts for both Firefox and Chrome that
inject download links on Youtube videos. I find either of those more
convenient than firing up a separate app, but my use case is watching the
videos on my TV. Streaming video is kind of a pet peeve of mine due to my
flaky suburban broadband.

I also had some success with an extension that embedded some free software
video player (Totem rings a bell) and let me stream Youtube's flv/mp4 files
directly in the browser using no proprietary software, but that was a
couple years and Ubuntu versions ago. I have no idea what it was called.
