Regarding the corporate users, I think actually most of them should not need any of those 3 plugins enabled: 1. Acrobat Reader plugin: use some less popular PDF reader which is not that commonly attacked 2. Flash: you shouldn't play Flash games in the office ;) For Youtube, you can enable HTML5 version in modern browsers 3. Java: IMO it's mostly needed in IE6-dating web apps but I might be very naive here... Regarding Acrobat: there's a built-in PDF reader coming in Firefox soon (pdfjs). Currently I do not use any plugin, just make the browser download a PDF and render it in SumatraPDF or PDF Xchange Viewer.

Sometimes you really need Acrobat though. For fill-in PDF forms none of the other "readers" really do an adequate job.

  For fill-in PDF forms none of the other "readers" really do an adequate job. That is not really relevant to a browser plugin. You can download and fill in PDFs with whatever application you like without browser plugins.

    Exactly. BTW are the fill-in PDF forms that prevalent? I've only been using them once a year to fill my tax declaration which sadly requires installation of Adobe Reader plugin in Poland. I feel the corpo world prefers Excel for that kind of things :)
