http://crunchbanglinux.org – Who likes to watch stream videos inside the flash videoplayer? Not me.That's how I got rid of it.First of all you have to install the flashblock plugin in your browser (there's a version for chromium and firefox). Other browsers, like xxxterm can be configured to obtain the same result. I prefer to keep flash installed because sometimes it's the only way to go.Then install youtube-dl and get-flash-videos. I'd like to go with get-flash-videos only, but it does not work with youtube (don't know why), so I needed an alternative. I kept it because it supports lots of other (HowTos)

I posted this question on my disto-specific forum, however it appears to be a unique problem, so here it is:
