Minitube is a flash free YouTube desktop application for Linux and Mac OSX. Minitube is perhaps one of the cleanest looking YouTube desktop client I have ever used in Ubuntu. And the fact that Minitube does not use the Flash player to play videos makes it a really low consumer of your CPU resources.
Minitube Feature List
