It is also only 40.39KB in size, so it uses very little storage space on your computer.Īfter you install this add-on, I recommend refreshing YouTube’s video pages in Chrome browser, so YouTube is using Adobe Flash video player instead of HTML5 video player before you installed this add-on. Playing videos at lower settings will let you save data if you connect to the internet on a limited internet connection like those USB modems where you connect to the internet with a Cell phone data connection with a limit of 5GB of bandwidth before you have to pay overage fees.ĭisable Youtube™ HTML5 Player is discontinued, so it is no longer available for download. Playing videos at 144P is also good if your internet connection is very slow like dial-up internet, or cheaper DSL and cable connections which sometimes are under 1 Mbps. The Adobe Flash Player also lets you play videos at 144P resolution, so if you are using an older or slower computer, you can set videos to 144P in YouTube to let them play faster.

The Adobe Flash Player plug-in also seems to use less CPU resources than the HTML5 player on my Chromebook and Chromebox when I check the CPU and RAM usage in the Task Manager which is built-into Chrome’s browser.

The video frame rate seems more stable where it is above 30-35 frames per seconds, and it loads quickly, so is not any slowdown, or buffering problems. Using this add-on to request the YouTube flash video player stops stuttering video, and lag problems when I watch some newer HD 1080P 60 frames per second videos on YouTube in Google Chrome because the Adobe Flash video Player for Chrome does not cause video to stutter, or slow down when I use it to watch video on a Chromebook with an Intel Celeron CPU, or an older PC with an older single to dual core CPU with onboard video, or an older video card. This add-on just runs in the background, and does not slow down Chrome when I use it with this add-on installed. This extension also works for Google Chromebooks which uses the Chrome browser as its operating system. The Adobe Flash video player for YouTube would replace the HTML5 video player once you install Disable Youtube™ HTML5 Player extension in Google Chrome. Disable Youtube™ HTML5 Player is an extension/add-on for Google Chrome which turns off the HTML5 video player in Google Chrome.
