Make Youtube Go HTML 5

People who use Safari probably know that Safari has extensions, like Firefox. Yesterday, I found an extension that makes Youtube videos play in HTML 5. Why does this matter though? Well, the reason is that HTML 5 is "the new thing". In addition, it does not use as much energy as Flash. The extension, called YouTube5, is simple to use. Once installed, open up Safari's Preferences (File--->Preferences) and proceed to the Extensions tab. Here you will find the YouTube5 extension. You have the ability to customize the highest video type to your liking. If you choose a video type that is not support by the video (i.e It doesn't go that high) then the video will play in the highest setting it can. So go ahead, take it for a spin!
