Hello,

I am trying to use chrome a little bit more, but I find it burning my macbook(late 2008) when using flash.

I switched to html5 on youtube,
but loading videos is extremely slowly, while on Safari it significantly faster(faster than using the standard flash player)
I noticed the videos on Chrome use WebM,
is there a way to switch or force Chrome to play h264 instead of WebM?

I think that is what makes Safari load faster using h264
I see no other reason?
 
If Chrome is not working as well as Safari for you, then..why are you using Chrome? Just use Safari.

I've used Chrome, Firefox and Camino, but none of them work as well as Safari for me personally, so I'm just sticking with Safari.
