The sad thing is that Click To Play still breaks websites. I think SoundCloud (Flash) was the one where I gave up last time. I use Safari for day-to-day browsing now and open Chrome when I need to use anything infective (Java, Flash, Facebook, Google, ...).
- chime 14y agoClick To Play breaks whenever a 1px Flash embed is used - you can't click what you can't see. I generally whitelist sites I trust (YouTube, Vimeo, Google Maps, ETrade etc.) and never have to click on Flash from those sites. Other sites show me Click To Play and 90% of the time, it's ads I want to ignore or the single video link I want to click.
- dchest 14y agoThere's an icon in the address bar that you can click to enable all plugins on the page, even 1px ones.
- ZoFreX 14y agoThat icon doesn't appear on all sites. Sometimes it seems like the site does feature detection, comes to the conclusion you don't have flash, and refuses to serve anything useful. Also on OS X the Flash mouse capture is broken if you enable click to play in Firefox.
- ch0wn 14y agoLuckily, SoundCloud's next release will be HTML5-audio-only. You can also enable experimental HTML5 playback support with the current version in your settings. Your point is correct, though. There are a lot of sites that break if they don't detect Flash right at page load.
