Re: Video-UNfriendly browsers?

It seems like NoScript will do the job. I think that it allows YouTube 
by default once installed, but you can easily disable it after 
installing (along with the other sites it enables by default). Since 
most sites depend on JavaScript to embed videos, that will block most of 
them. I don't know of a solution to block the rest.
