They're annoying. Don't be annoying.
I have to block flash... I'm on a Mac w/Firefox, and it started
crashing this week when certain flash bits were put up - I finally got
control of my magic yo-yo browser by catching the pop-under opening a
Flash ad, and closing the window before it could load. I was about to
take my machine off-line to let the browser get to a stable state when
I finally found the offender. :-P
It must be "my fault" for trying to let Flash run on a non-Wintel box.
:-/ It seems every few months, some update gets pushed through that
causes Flash to completely hose the browser.
Flash is annoying. If you try to sell me something with a Flash ad,
I'll probably never see it.
