"As for why I refuse to embed Flash, let me put it this way. I use and highly recommend ClickToFlash, which blocks all Flash content by default. Why would I publish content using a technology that I personally block by default?"
Soon you will be blocking <audio> and <video> by default too, for the same reasons.
- tdm911 17y agoIt's not the video and audio aspects of flash he is concerned about, it's the automatic loading and playing of content with flash that is annoying. Audio and video that doesn't load until you ask for it is perfectly acceptable.
- bcl 17y agoFlashBlock handles that nicely in FF. Nothing is loaded until you click on it.
- dagw 17y agoThe auto play isn't a requirement for using flash. What makes you think that the people doing auto loading and playing with flash won't do it with HTML5 tags? People can write annoying crap on any platform.
- ugh 17y agoIs it? I block flash because on OS X Flash’s performance is ridiculous. I don’t care so much about auto play (the sites I visit are normally polite).
