In my opinion this should be fixed independently of the webapps
Is this html5 videos? Flash videos or both?
For flash you can always use caffeine (which should be in the default
distribution imo) and for html5 I already filed a bug:

Title:
Inhibit screensaver
** Description changed:
- I don't know how it is in Firefox, but in Chromium, when you play flash
- movies, your computer will still go to sleep and/or dim the screen after
- a certain time.
+ When playing videos on YouTube and being idle, the screensaver may
+ start. This is something unexpected
