I find myself increasingly annoyed with youtube (even with html5), and find
relief in using scripts to access its content. Such as:

https://github.com/trizen/youtube-viewer
https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/

There are also other applications like:
http://flavio.tordini.org/minitube
http://smplayer.sourceforge.net
