Github somehow manages to copy stuff to the clipboard with flash player disabled - apparently it's using the new HTML5 clipboard API.
IIRC ZeroClipboard falls back to flash if you're not using a browser with the new clipboard APIs.

I hope that Google takes the next, bigger step and kills its YouTube Flash player. The HTML5 one is superior in almost every way and so many browsers now support HTML5[1]. It would be a really meaningful statement. This is just a bit 'meh'. [1] http://html5readiness.com/
"The HTML5 one is superior in almost every way" Not it isn't. The flash player is actually superior in almost every way. And like you, I won't provide any data to back that opinion up. I'll just use the word "almost" to give me some room in case someone jumps in with actual data.
THE ABOVE TEXT IS ALSO OPINION.

You don't need to be on Google's ad network to use swiffy (the conversion tool that they are using), it's open source.
I've had pretty much zero consequences from disabling Flash globally in all my browsers. Where is Flash still essential?
We're left with converting each stream to 3 separate formats ( HLS,DASH264 and RTMP ) to stream on all browsers ..
What solution do they offer for that ?

> I got plugins disabled by default in Chrome for ages now (right click run plugin when needed). that should be the default. And that's also going to be impossible now those annoying bits will be HTML5.
Well it's the chicken and the egg, you don't like Flash you block it, Google blocks it you have to deal with HTML5 now, it's the same thing as with Adblock... People don't like ads they use adblockers, site revenues go down advertisers find new and even more invasive ways to display ads. Wont be surprise if in a year or 2 how content will work is that all (actual) content on the site will be encrypted and encoded int…
