Sorry dudes. This is not killing Flash. Last time I checked, porn sites were still using it.

Use this UA the next time:

  Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 8_0 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/600.1.3 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/8.0 Mobile/12A4345d Safari/600.1.4

Pornhub has switched to HTML5

I stand corrected, then. Should watch more porn it seems :P

I tried it and they are still using flash, as is every other site I know of. Perhaps they mean there is an html5 option somewhere, but I don't see it.

Works for me (just tried it, was fun)

Try disabling adblock, it seems to break their html5 streaming.

yeah but a lot of them are more mobile friendly which means they're not using flash as heavily anymore.

I know this only for research purposes of course...

If youtube is switching, they'll switch. Slowly, but it'll happen. Simply because the ones that do first will get more customers.

As silly as this is, it's completely true ;)
