HTML5 and full screen mode is completely useless. Is there a way to change that in chrome.
Flash does it its own way and still works. Fortunately youtube is still flash as many other sites. Youtube HTML5 trial is unusable, so are wikipedia which is exclusively html5.
Chrome switches the whole browser Windows into OSX full screen mod which renders the other monitor unusable. I don't know if there is a way to change that.
Safari doesn't offer any full screen at all in its html5 player.
Here is an example to try it out.

How do other people deal with this? If I watch a video on one screen full screen I still want to use the other. That behavior is completely ridiculous.
I only switched to ML now from SL but other Lion users use two screens too I would guess.
Just filming what happens makes it look like a bad joke. One can refuse to use full screen mode of OSX most of the time but in the case of video most people use full screen often.
Where is Safari's full screen switch on the html5 player (that doesn't include the buttons apperantly)?
Safari works on youtube html5 even though it refuses to use the html5 player without a lot of convincing but than the full screen mode doesn't kick in and it works like a full screen flash.
BTW Opera and Chrome both show the same behavior which suggests that it is an OSX problem. Might still be a workaround in prefs of Opera or Chrome I hope.
That really sucks and I don't like Safari because despite now 12 extensions that are of really bad quality it is still miles away from the Usability of Chrome or Opera.
