Supporting the free software alternative GNASH could ease your 
dependency on the Adobe flash plugin. Donating to support the 
development is always a good idea:

What is gnash? Take a look at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/

The gnash project developers site:

In gnash version 0.8.8 all youtube videos should be working.
