I'm not talking about extensions. There is a feature of both Chrome and Firefox that simply makes flash opt-in intead of opt-out. The place where the flash object would be is replaced with a grey sheet indicated that it's a flash object that isn't loaded, until you right click on it to activate it. It's great, because you only see the flash objects you want to see. In Chrome, they've recently made that feature on by default. I can't speak for Firefox because recently I've abandoned that browser.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
