Why did the original HTML5 player disappear? It was great video player, it worked so well with Google Chrome, even with Internet Explorer (and that's hell buggy browser). Please, bring it back :( I don't want to use Flash Player...

The HTML5 video player has not gone anywhere. There are a few old videos that are were encoded for flash only (no HTML5 support). You must have viewed one (or more) of these.

Realised that. Is it too much to recode these? Because Google Chrome doesn't seem to support Flash anymore, and in fact I do not use flash at all now. Even YouTube completely abandoned Flash and started using HTML5 player even for live streams.
