Dip into Chrome for a couple games and to skip QuickTime bugs affecting YouTube/Vimeo (QT loads the whole stream, then drops and begins re-downloading if I pause and resume).
Now that the rdio client is Flash-free it’s pretty easy for me to live without Flash.
When I upgraded to lion I decided to not bother installing flash on firefox
The only time I switch is to watch youtube / vimeo or a news video, very occasionally youtube gives me a html5 video which is nice, I dont understand why the rest dont already support html5
For those who want to take melling up on this challenge (and I would encourage it because it's an eye-opening experience to see much your favorite websites depend on Flash, or not), this extension is a nice bridge.
Flash embeds aren't loaded automatically. Instead, a placeholder appears instead. Clicking on that placeholder loads the Flash file, so you can selectively choose which Flash embeds to see.
Chrome has an inbuilt plugin blocker, that does the same as flash blocker. You may need to activate it in about:flags to see the option in the plugin settings. An advantage is that it doesn't depend on javascript, so it is friendly with the javascript blocker in chrome, if you are feeling very paranoid.
going on 8 months without flash on any of my home machines. i prefer it, i find that the content from flash websites tends to be poor quality or unneccesary distractions, my internet is better without it.
So what? I've been Native App-free for months now. I encourage everyone to go without using native apps for a few weeks. Unchain yourselves from Apple's closed, flash-hating club.
