For youtube, it makes much more sense to use YouTubePlay, or the built-in support on the TP.

If you are going to a site like redtube, then you have to use skyfire. I find that viewing ANY streaming video in skyfire is a PITA. It doesn't automatically fit to screen--and you can't do it, even if you want to. Chances are, if I am watching a video, I want to actually see it. Not some tiny square on an already-tiny screen. If you zoom in, you get a whole new level of annoyance--with parts getting cut off/etc.

Maybe if they improved the zoom/panning features, it would work better, but that's been my experience so far.
