Is there a program to play youtube videos?

My iPad has a YouTube app on it to play videos without installing Flash. Is there such a program on my new MBP? Or am I forced to use Flash?

Hmm, that's strange, as Flash is included with Safari as a plugin in /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/


You can download it from here anyway 🙂

Thanks, yes, I kknow I can download it. Just wondering if I HAD to download it. The iPad has a Youtube program, and flash is not needed. Guess I have no choice.


From what I understand, Apple does not install Flash anymore on the MBP.
