It looks like Youtube deprecated Safari 5.0.6 (the latest Safari version running on PPC iMacs under MacOS X 10.5.8, the latest OS version for PPC Macs) sometime yesterday, Dec. 8. Youtube page display was reduced to text-only, listing the deprecation. Changing User Agent to Safari 5.1 didn't help (so Safari 5 appears to be 'out' altogether), but a change to Opera 11.11 did. Kind of: although Youtube approved of that browser choice, page display still is text only. A few other observations: Firefox 3.6.28 (!) still works well, but Youtube displays a message that they'll stop supporting it soon. Opera 10.63 displays OK without such warning.
Has anybody else noticed this deprecation, or has other comments on the topic? In particular I'm wondering if Safari 5.0.6's text display on Youtube may not be caused by the deprecation, because Youtube's display on Safari 5.1.10 (on an MBP running Snow Leopard) is still OK (not text-only), even though that version is indeed listed as deprecated too.
