If you are concerned about the amount of CPU (your processor) is used when you view Flash movies online you’re in luck. A simple Flash to HTML5 Extension for Safari can make it all better. Well, mostly…

When you visit a site that has one or more Flash movies on it this extension will try it’s best to play the movie in HTML5 Player. This is especially useful on YouTube where Flash is the norm and considered a big CPU and Memory hog.

The extension works but, it does change the video into a download instead of instant play. You can click the play button in the HTML5 Player and start the movie right away but if the playhead catches up with the amount of movie downloaded at that moment it will stop playing until more movie is downloaded.
