jcairol,

In my opinion, as long as the SWF format specification continue to be
proprietary, free software users will always have a bad experience with
content served in that format. That's why Gnash won't work the same as the
Adobe Flash Player.

As for things like Flash Video Replacer, those kinds of scripts won't work
well for long because video Web sites seem to change the way they work, very
often. Maybe because they don't like people downloading the videos they
host?

If you care about freedom (I say to myself) you shouldn't give a damn about
SWF content in the Web. You should avoid it. Instead, wait for the free
alternatives to become stronger or make them be stronger.

Currently, I'm using Trisquel 4.01 and installed IceCat 5. For HTML5 video
to work on YouTube, I had to uninstall Flash Video Replacer and Gnash (I
hate that these come by default in Trisquel, they offer a bad user
experience, IMHO).

Respectfully,
