On the latest dev release, I'm getting the HTML5 player on YouTube by default. When I go to the page for changing it, there's no option to switch to Flash. On my Mavericks partition, I can switch back and forth.

While I prefer HTML5 to flash generally, I don't like how OSX handles fullscreen video and YouTube's player isn't as good as their Flash one.

Is anyone else having this issue?

I'm having the same issue. I can't seem to change back to flash http://www.youtube.com/html5
it's like a forced option.
Also, what's ever worse sometimes the video playing in full screen on html5 gets an "unexpected error" and does that twice, until the page reloads on itself and starts playing on flash (with no errors whatsoever).
Any fix?
