Or you could always add any of the myriad Flash blockers available for Firefox and/or Chrome. If you’ve ever browsed the Internet without Flash, you’ll quickly notice how much the web relies on it. Sad, really.

Flash isn’t needed like it used to be. Most major video plugins are utilizing HTML5 and don’t need Flash anymore. Months ago I realized YouTube could play without Flash and uninstalled it immediately. I haven’t looked back since.

I've used the Firefox FlashBlock extension for years.

I browse the internet with FlashBlock and you know what? There's really not that much other than ads that still use it.

Flash has just gotta go. This is just too freakin' much.

Adobe makes a laughingstock of all the other security measures we take -- antivirus, Windows updates, etc. What good is all that, if we put a plugin in our browser that spreads our computer's legs for all the world to have at?
