Today's YouTube on anything but an Intel Mac is going to be pure torture, if it works at all. I can get videos to play at maybe 1-2 fps in 240p on my G4 1.42 GHz using TenFourFox; a Pismo probably wouldn't work at all. The G4 and its contemporary graphics chipsets don't have hardware decoding for the VP9 codec that YouTube uses, and the G4 series of CPUs just don't have the raw power to do it in real-time.
