Re: [Trisquel-users] Why can I play Youtube videos like with Flash?

[onpon4]

It is not libre. It's proprietary JavaScript code instead of a Flash object  
with proprietary ActionScript code. It's just that Abrowser is capable of  
running JavaScript code, whereas Flash Player is needed for Flash objects.

I would recommend disabling JavaScript and using unofficial tools to watch  
videos, like ViewTube and UnPlug. As a last resort, youtube-dl is usually the  
most reliable.
