If you are like me you have noticed that every website out there just loves to put flash on their site. Wether it’s actual content or just ads, it can be very distracting and annoying. Not to mention that it can hog your processor and kill your battery faster if its running on your laptop. I know my usage is not normal, and yes I can have 50 tabs open in safari at any given time ( my record is 145). That can really take its toll on your computer. There is something you can do about it. Install flashblock.

Download ClickToFlash 1.4.2 here

Install it and restart your safari, then you will get a blank screen where ever there is flash on a web page, if you want to see it, just click on it and it will load.
