Hello Quiliro, Helo Trisquel Users, As I understood, you can add '&webm=1' to youtube *search* URLs (not video URLs). It's how it works for me. Compare [1] and [2] as an example (1440 and 893 thousand of results respectively).
You can also try to add '&html5=True' to any given non-WebM *video* URL and see if it helps. Compare [3] and [4] as an example. I'm not sure how this part works exactly (and whether it would work for you), but in my case, when I add '&webm=1' to search URL and then pick a video from the search results, youtube automatically redirects my browser (in two steps) to an URL that ends with '&html5=True'. All the above won't necessarily work for others. These are just results of my experiments and guesses based on the information from [5]. This, in particular: "If you want to find videos with WebM formats available, you can use the Advanced Search options to look for them (or just add &webm=1 to any search URL)" I hope this will help someone.
