Replace html5 for flash youtube
Does anyone know how to get rid of HTML5 on Youtube and replace it back to flash.
It changed a few days ago, it's slow, the videos are blurry, HD no longer HD and seems restricted to 720p.
The videos seem to have a hazy softness.
Why do they keep changing these bl**dy things!!

I'm using IE11.
Youtube have gone over to HTML5 it seems from about of the start of this week, which now restricts the quality of the videos that can be viewed in IE 11, I wonder why??
I could easily watch the 4k videos, after a fashion.
They have now removed that option, even 1080 has gone.
Are they trying to force users to other browsers.
I don't want any other browser IE11 works great.
I don't want Win 8.1 either or 10, 11 or whatever else they come up with.

Hi Bob,
For IE11, you can try running compatibility mode to see if it helps. IE11 is starting to go out of date now in Google's eyes, so be prepared to jump soon. Hope this helps for now though.http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view#ie=ie-11

I can still use Free YouTube downloader to download higher res vids so that's ok for now.
So it seems the programmers aren't skilled enough to provide higher resolutions.
Or perhaps they don't think it's necessary if the majority are watching on phone, reduce bandwidth ?

Yes under Win7 IE11 about two weeks ago HTML5 became the default and no way to select Flash. It doesn't play well on my setup.
Compatibility mode as brought it back, but get a update adobe flash banner on every start of a video on Youtube.
I have the latest flash.

I think you can force YT to Flash but I wouldn't guarantee that it will continue to be supported...
