How to watch Youtube fullscreen on one monitor of a dual-monitor display, in Linux?

If I do it in Google Chrome, as soon as I do anything at the other monitor, Chrome jumps back to normal window.

Edit: added that OS is Linux.

This is the default behavior of Flash in a browser, and you need to tweak Flash itself to work around the issue. I've had luck with FlashHacker in the past, and the dev now has a Chrome-specific version:

It doesn't seem to work for Linux? – Computist Oct 28 '11 at 15:56
Nope it's designed for Windows only. I believe there are patches out there for Linux as well but I don't recall any off the top of my head. – Garrett Oct 28 '11 at 16:13
