YouTube5 has become far more popular than I ever imagined it would! I’d like to say a general thank you to everyone who has commented to make suggestions or just express appreciation for this extension, its a great encouragement to know it has been useful to so many people.

...

This version is an almost complete rewrite, and includes many improvements over the first, including:

• A custom designed HTML5 player to replace the usable, but very limited built-in player.
• Support for Vimeo and Facebook video.
• The ability to switch video resolutions within the player, without having to access Safari’s preferences.
• Support for downloading videos from YouTube and Facebook.
• A fully functional volume control, rather than just a mute button.
• Support for displaying the video’s title, author, and source, in a video overlay, along with a link back to the video’s page on YouTube, Vimeo, etc.
