Flash (not) sure causes a lot of flash not responding and computer lockups. Too bad that so many videos try to load adobe (is that spanish for mud brick?). So what is a good replacement besides enabling gOOGLE? I get a kick of seeing advertisements that are can't load because the have to ask me to activate the mud brick.

From the client side there really are no alternatives. From the content provider side there are 2 significant alternatives: Silverlight and HTML5. And the sooner everybody moves to them (probably mostly to 5) the sooner we all can uninstall Flash.

I run several browsers, because videos seems to work on some but no on others. In addition to problems with Flash, Microsoft’s Silverlight seems to confict, too.

PDF’s have a similar problem, as there are several flavors: vm, pdf, etc. Some PDF readers cannot read them and some browsers cannot download the ‘real’ PDF.
