YouTube Now Streams HTML5 Video By Default | TechCrunch

Here is one more nail in Flash’s coffin: starting today, YouTube defaults to using HTML5 video on all modern browsers, including Chrome, IE 11, Safari 8 and the beta versions of Firefox.

Intersting! I'm not using a beta version of Firefox and if HTML5 playback is enabled it works anyway. Just tested on Youtube and on Youtube Embeds.
