A new Safari extension from Joris Vervuurt replaces the YouTube Flash Player with a HTML5 Player.
FlashToHTML5 replaces the CPU and memory hogging YouTube Flash Player with a HTML5 player. Not only will it look nicer, you will also notice that your computer will run cooler and faster. If you use a laptop, you will also notice that the battery life of a fully charged battery will increase.
FlashToHTML5 will also automatically load the video at the highest quality available, WITHOUT advertisements! The only downside is that subtitles and user-captions are not displayed, but that's something I may add support for in the future. ;-)
You can download the extension from the link below...

You're getting confused clicktoflash allows you to choose what flash video you want to load. This replaces the YouTube flash player with a html5 player inside safari. Totally different thing. Try reading the copy first.
