Disabled flash six months ago and haven't looked back.

I have Flash blocked, but there are some sites that still use it. The BBC iPlayer and the News web site, and Google's analytics pages, for example. Posterous uses Flash for image uploads, as do a number of other sites I use.

So, for the time being I still need the plugin available, but I will be very happy for Flash to be deprecated eventually.

I remember when Cif was called Flash, and round here used to be all fields...

Flash and his crew read the news on x404. They are not happy.

I thought Cif was called Jif? (not to be used on pancakes)

I have some Flash under the sink.

Ah, you're quite right, turns out they had very similar bottles - so that's the reason my house is in a right state :lol:

I use safari for the very few sites that need it, but I've found I generally can't be bothered and I'm not really missing much.
