Eh, I watch youtube, but NOT using flash servantware, and using 100% 64- |
| 10 |
bit apps. The firefox extension I use is 1-click-youtube-downloader, but |
| 11 |
there are others, and other ways to watch it (including in HTML5 native |
| 12 |
format), if desired, without using servantware. |

I always download the mp4 version, watching it using my video player of |
| 15 |
choice (presently smplayer). I can then delete it if I don't like it, or |
| 16 |
save it if I do. Sometimes videos disappear from youtube, you know, and |
| 17 |
google doesn't need to know how many times I watch my favorites, or even |
| 18 |
whether I consider it good enough to save or not. |

IOW, particularly insecure and buggy servantware not required to view |
| 21 |
youtube. =:^) |
