Hey together,

under http://www.youtube.com/html5 one can choose to see (at least part of the) Youtube-videos using HTML5 instead of flash. Unfortunately this does not seem to work, when I disallow youtube to store cookies. My question is, if someone knows a trick/tweak to get this working in either Firefox/Konqueror/Rekonq without the need of allowing to store cookies. I do not want to change this for privacy reasons.

Any hints, ideas or solutions?

just set it for session only cookies, so that when browser closes they are erased

Tried it, it works. But it seems not really like the solution I am looking for. If I suspend my latop regulary a sesssion cookie should be a permanent one. Other it means I need to do that on every start of the browser.

But thanks for the suggestion anyway!

you could:

- search for browser addons that force the use of html5, thus negating the need for cookies, maybe

- use something other than a browser to play YouTube vids, minitube does not use flash and I would guess neither do sMplayer or uMplayer or VLC.

in systemsettings -> power management -> advanced settings -> configure notifications -> see pic
