Users of Youku, a popular Chinese video platform, can now watch videos without Flash Player thanks to the Youku HTML5 Player extension. This browser extension is designed for viewers who have disabled or removed Flash Player due to security concerns. By installing the Youku HTML5 Player, users can switch to a more secure and faster HTML5 player on the Youku website.
The extension is available for both Google Chrome and Firefox browsers, offering a seamless viewing experience with features like video quality switching, comment settings, and playback speed adjustment. It uses components like flv.js and a modified version of ABPlayer-bilibili-ver to ensure compatibility and performance.
To install, visit the GitHub page for the Youku HTML5 Player extension and follow the links to the Chrome or Firefox add-ons. After installation, refresh the Youku webpage to start using the HTML5 player.
