In a bout of irony, 10 years later it seems that now videos on most websites are now easier to stream on mobile.
// Background:
My workplace has (rightly so) disabled flash on our computers due to numerous security nightmares. Unfortunately lots of major websites I browse to: TechCrunch, C|Net, The Verge, and many others still stream their video using clunky flash video containers. However when I browse to these same websites/articles on a mobile browser, I get a nice stream that opens up in the device's (Whether iOS or Android) native video player.
Given that VLC player exists to play almost anything, is there a way to replicate this experience on a desktop browser?

The decision on what player to use is probably made server side, so you will have no control over it. What you can do is use a user-agent spoofing plugin to make the server think you are a mobile browser. But this may change how the whole page is rendered (again determined server side)
