Youtube videos work just fine on Chrome, but just avoiding advertising bombardment has been enough to become a fan of Safari (even though it's particularly slow at reading my brief start-up HTML file).

Go to Safari \ Preferences. Click on Extensions. If you see the extension "ClickToFlash", disable it.
