 Playing videos from YouTube (And google video) has long been one of the
 most frequent requests of XO users... it still takes too many steps to
 make this work.

 These videosites don't work by default with the latest Gnash, and it's
 still too hard to update Browse to make it so : it requires opening
 finding the right how-to page or FAQ, opening a Terminal, and downloading
 & applying the Flash RPM.

 While sites such as dailymotion are providing ogg videos for us, we should
 make it easier to enable the most commonly used sites (and should probably
 have a list against which to test how well Browse works by default).
