I'd much rather use uBlock, though, particularly for the lower memory and CPU footprint. You can use the ClickToFlash Safari extension to filter out these ads and other Flash content.

So I've been using ClickToFlash + AdBlock Plus successfully. You can block pop-up windows automatically using Safari. However, I'm not sure what you said about it being impossible to block what's going on in Flash is actually true, because AdBlock Plus does stop YouTube video ads in this circumstance. It replaces every Flash object by an unobtrusive placeholder that can be clicked to load the Flash content, and it can replace many Flash-based media players by Safari's native HTML5 media player. I've tried ClickToPlugin but it has the same issue - it forces flash on YouTube and prevents uBlock from stopping video ads. ClickToFlash is a highly customizable extension that prevents Safari from launching the Flash plug-in automatically. Ordinarily this isn't that big of a deal, because using the flash player instead of the html5 player isn't a deal breaker for me (though I do prefer avoiding flash when possible), but it does cause uBlock to not block the video ads. I have to disable it entirely for YouTube's html5 player to come back, meaning it's disabled for every other site as well. Unfortunately when I whitelist a domain with ClickToFlash, it forces flash to be used, as you pointed out. So what I'd like is to have YouTube behave normally as though ClickToFlash isn't enabled, but have it enabled for every other site.

Most importantly, frequently the video will simply fail to play back with no error message, and the only way to fix it is to restore the normal player anyway.

Theres probably some info out there on exactly what goes on behind the scenes that a little Google searching will. I suspect there is 3rd piece going on that tells Safari to read the new Plist file in without having to relaunch it.

This disables certain YouTube features I like, including clickable elements, subtitles, and annotations. For example, installing ClickToFlash.safariextz puts this into the plist.

When ClickToFlash is enabled and replaced Flash with an html5 player, it uses QuickTime instead of YouTube's built-in html5 player.

So the reason I'm trying to whitelist is:
