Try MPV. It's a plug-in that for the browser that uses youtube-dl to display
the video within the browser without Adobe Flash. It works on near 1000 sites
minus the few commercial streaming sites (ie Netflix and probably Amazon
Prime, and Hulu):

Now it is humorous that these sites would demand DRM considering that there
are lots of sites distributing this same material presumably in violation of
the copyright owners. However I know of very (actually I can't think of more
than one person) few people who would respect the major entertainment players
copyrights which means the entire DRM-effort is utterly pointless.
Now I think you should adjust this to Android 3.0.1 instead of pretending to
be using an iPad. I'd suggest not contributing to the Apple user statistics.
This give Apple more leverage and they one of the bigger players at odds with
our interests. You can fix this in the User Agent Switcher. Go to Tools >
Default User Agent > Edit User Agent and click the New button > New User
Agent. In the user agent field past the following:
Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; U; Android 3.0.1; en-us; GT-P7100 Build/HRI83)
AppleWebkit/534.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Safari/534.13
And for the App code name:
Mozilla
You can enter Android 3 for the description and delete whatever is in the
other fields (other than the ones above of course)...
It is a valid argument that Android is Google and Android isn't much better,
but I think in the scheme of things Apple is more of a threat, which is why
I'd suggest switching. I don't know how this compares to Apple as far as
sites supporting it, but Android also doesn't support Flash so it should
probably be just as effective. I know for the BBC news videos the Android
3.0.1 user agent string above works wonderfully.
