I also recommend click-to-flash on Safari which stops all Flash, Java and HTML5 from running until I click to tell it to run (e.g. a video that I want to watch). It is painless and keeps me safe.

Not being computer knowledgeable I have little idea of what your speaking. Please explain for those of us who are not up to date.

Click-to-Flash runs as an extension in my Safari browser (I use a mac). The extension intercepts incoming web pages and strips out flash and java (and HTML5) and replaces them with labeled icons showing you that there is some flash or whatever in that spot on the web page.

I see the whole web page, but in place of annoying ads or flash running and doing things I don't want, I see a gray box labeled flash. When I click on the box, it runs the flash so I can see a movie or radar animation or other flash content that I want to see without being bothered by the rest of it.
