You can switch temporarily to Youtube's HTML5 player (what? to avoid Flash, on that one site, hehe)

http://www.youtube.com/html5

click on join test, then later you can un-join to change back to the flash player.

know that the full-screen scales to the browser window - just press F11 to make your window full-screen

I'd just read an article on how Google's browser was finally hacked after two years, and they got in through the built-in Adobe Flash player, and then finally got the word that HTML5 is more secure and quickly becoming the default for mobile. Flash may not as popular much longer.

I've always known sites hosting Flash stuff exposed me to more malware, but I wonder now if I'm also exposed to any through the Flash player itself. My Ad-aware service regularly shuts down, and objects are found when I re-start it, while on certain public video sites. I kind of welcome an alternative to Flash, even without really knowing enough about HTML5 or how it streams.
