Unfortunately there's no good way to do this that wouldn't get us back to
the situation where the dual-mode flash+HTML5 videos wouldn't also display
this dialog. I suppose could write a custom content rewriter or DOM
manipulator tailored specifically for the YouTube JS, but that is likely
to break early and often whenever YouTube changes scripts/behaviors.
