Perhaps most Linux users have heard about Minitube, an application to search and download videos from Youtube. The biggest difference between watching youtube videos with Minitube and browsing Youtube with a web-browser is that you dont need Flash Player at all, therefore it will load the videos faster. That's why many people prefer using Minitube to watch youtube video because it's faster than browsing Youtube using a web browser and Minitube also offers the ability to download the videos to save it to your hard disk.
Gmediafinder is really similar to Minitube. It helps you watching youtube videos without the need of the Flash Player. Using Gmediafinder, you can search for videos by entering some words in the search box and a list of relevant videos will appear for you to choose. And you can make a playlist of multiple videos to watch them respectively at once by creating a playlist then adding videos to it.
