Unfortunately, Flash can be a huge resource hog on Linux and can cause usability problems as well. It's certainly better on chrome since it runs in a separate process. I'm hoping the next stable version of flash reduces the resources needed for flash to run on Linux.
- weaksauce 17y agoSame with osx. When Flash hits my browser it acts as kryptonite for my battery.
- ZeroGravitas 17y agoFor Mac OS X you have clicktoflash for blocking flash but it isn't a browser add-on, rather a plugin (similar to Flash, Silverlight etc.) Technical details: http://boredzo.org/blog/archives/2009-01-29/how-clicktoflash-works http://boredzo.org/blog/archives/2009-01-29/how-clicktoflash... I'd love to see a similar plugin on Linux for Firefox, Chromium etc. http://boredzo.org/blog/archives/2009-01-29/how-clicktoflash-works http://boredzo.org/blog/archives/2009-01-29/how-clicktoflash...
- ismarc 17y agoI primarily use Chromium on Linux without the flash plugin. Sure, I miss like 1/8th the internet, but I didn't care about most of that anyways. If there's something in flash I really want to see, I'll fire up Konquerer (which will use the Firefox flash plugin), paste in the link I want, and go about my merry way.
