My New Life without FLASH

Last week I told you about a new plug-in "ClicktoFlash" Every wonder why the web page your going to is loading slow? Install ClicktoFlash and find a new world of very fast loading web pages. What it does is simple puts in automatically a elegant looking grey backdrop where a flash movie was set to play and if you want to load it or watch it you just click it.

The project was abandoned and deleted but Johathan 'Wolf' Rentzch grabbed it and now maintains clciktoflash at Github. Wolf has updated it to include the ability to "white list" a domain (meaning that Flash will always load for pages from certain sites) or load every Flash object on a page, rather than having to click all of them separately.


If you visit YouTube you will also find that if you control-click on movies, you are given a chance to load either the Flash OR H.264 versions of movies, or open the movie in QuickTime Player, or download the H.264 version. That alone makes it a great addition to any Mac.
