Now, you can access all of Youtube videos without having to use Adobe's proprietary software, so long as your browser supports the W3C's version of Adobe's proprietary software.

Also we have seen Adobe code quality. That's scary. I can't wait for 0day through the DRM modules. Engineering at Mozilla tells us "sandbox ! sandbox ! sandbox !". but you know what? Chrome sandbox Flash. and pwned to own that way.

YouTube has some great videos, which is why I use their service, and I will continue to use their service. In the past I have split my habits between different browsers. When I want to watch videos I use Chromium, and I use Firefox for everything else. If I only use the W3C DRM enabled web browser for viewing videos then so be it.
It's about time people used another video sharing website other than YouTube.

I find browser and client support for videos is good enough these days I can just upload video to my own server. Five or ten years ago I'd have worried about codecs or who could view it with what software. Not these days.

You don't need Chrome to use YouTube. I have been able to watch most of YouTube without Flash for quite sometime, with Firefox. The best way to not support DRM? Don't view content that require it. On YouTube this mean that they don't get the revenue from it.
