Anyways, I just installed the Safari web browser which, for my computer is WAY faster, which is very good for me, so i'm using Safari from now on, but every time I want to watch a video on youtube, I can't and I get this message:

The page "________" has content of MIME type "application/x-shockwave-flash". Because you don't have a plug-in installed for this MIME type, this content can't be displayed.

So if I want to watch video on youtube on Safari, I need a certain plug-in to be installed, so can anyone tell me what i'm supposed to do, or what exactly i'm supposed to install.

By the way, i'm using the Safari web browser on a regular PC, not a MAC.
Your supposed to install Adobe Flash 9. Go to Adobe's website to get it Smile
You'll get over the "Safari for Windows rocks" really quickly. Safari is pure garbage on Windows. Anyway, tcf is right, you simply need Adobe flash to be installed (mozilla version), as if you were previously using IE, you only had the IE compatible ActiveX/COM edition installed.
Safari has an incredibly good RENDERER, it's quick and is the most feature packed one available.

However, the browser itself is a P.O.S. It's missing a lot of important features that I feel puts it even behind IE in terms of functionality.

No new tab button? you gotta be kidding :/

Yeah it seems very like a browser-lite, but hell yes it renders text and pictures fast!

That depends on your definition of a good renderer. Webkit is very standards compliant, and fast. To obtain that speed and the "I pass xxx compiance test!", Webkit is broken when rendering a LOT of pages on the internet.

I still use IE (now that it's sandboxed in Vista), as for me, it's quick enough, native feeling on my OS, and compatible with all but a few sites.

Just recently I moved to 64-bit on my main production system, and now I'm starting to use the 64-bit browser for everything but flash sites.
