Say No to Flash!
Or at least say Not now. Thanks to
Daring
Fireball for pointing me at
ClickToFlash, a
Safari pluging that holds back the plague that is Adobe Flash.
Install it on your Mac and it'll keep all those plugins from sucking
up your CPU cycles. The cool thing is that they'll still be on your
web pages as placeholders. Just click on the gradient on your page
and the Flash loads. But if you don't want it, you don't get it.
Simple and effective.
Update 01/27: As with any good Open Source project, ClickToFlash refuses to stand still. The bad news is that yesterday's link no longer works. The good is that there's a new location. The even better is that the new owner has enhanced CTF; Option-click on a Flash image and you have the option (get it?) to remember the site and automatically load Flash content without asking. Definitely cool, and a good example of how responsive Open Source can be.
