| You're The Man Now Dog is not specifically a flash site. It uses html assets to load music and animations and presents it with a non-interactive loop. Some sites do make use of Flash content though. Culturally, however, it draws a lot from animutation-era SA and 4chan's flash culture (YTMND and 4chan descend directly from SA, in fact). Irony and parodies are in abundance, and due to their non-conventional content creation method their works are small-sized. It's still recommended to archive them, as YTMND was extremely influential in the mid 00s | | You're The Man Now Dog is not specifically a flash site.

| = Replacing Flash =
| |
|
| |
| Ahh... Flash. The bane of our existence. In days long past, it was a necessary evil due to the lack of rich multimedia content in HTML and JS, and became entrenched due to it's ease of use for developers. Nowadays, with HTML5 having fixed nearly all those issues, it has become the bane of our existence.

|
| |
| When Apple announced that their iDevices would never support Adobe Flash, it was the beginning of the end for the dated format. However, many video sites are still hesitant about change (specifically, pr0n sites), perpetuating the use of Flash into the modern day, when even Adobe is beginning to ditch it.

| == YouTube HTML5 Test ==
| |
|
| |
| Youtube is creating an HTML5 test player. Nowadays it works pretty well, though there are a few stragglers that cling to Flash's ability for DRM, such as any VEVO video.
| |
|
| |
| Just go to http://youtube.com/html5 and enable the option, and YouTube will default to HTML5, but fall back to Flash when needed.
| |
|
| |
| == ViewTube ==
| |
|
| |
| ViewTube is a Greasemonkey user script that creates an HTML5 stand in for the flash player on your favorite streaming sites. Check the links below for lists of working sites.
| |
|
| |
| * [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/87011 ViewTube] - The good ol' original. Utilizes the default in-browser media player.
| |
| * [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/159658 ViewTubePlus] - Adds support for pr0n sites.
| |
| * [http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/169665 ViewTube_VLC] - Not just for VLC, but for Totem too. An optimized version of ViewTube that uses the more powerful (but less supported) Greasemonkey functions to utilize the more powerful desktop video players embedded in-browser.

| == Mozilla Shumway ==
| |
|
| |
| The end-all and be-all of the Flash replacements. Shumway is an ambitious project to instantly convert a Flash app into an HTML5 one. It's still under development and buggy, but is very promising, and can now be enabled for testing at any time in Firefox.
| |
|
| |
| == GNU Gnash ==
| |
|
| |
| A once promising open-source project to replace the entirety of Flash for Linux, but ended in failure due to the dearth of developers who have not accepted Adobe agreements.
