I’ve never been a huge fan of Flash animations but at the moment they are becoming a real pain. My venerable old Sony seems to be suffering a huge slowdown and this seems, in part, to do with the number of *big* flash adverts running on sites. Urghhh.
I know there is a place for Flash but a quick search on Google revealed a large community of people who really dislike Flash, and a whole segment of the market is appearing which produces applications that remove annoying Flash.
Firefox 3 is going on my computer today (hooray!) and I will be installing the rather natty Flashblock when it’s completed the installation. Bye bye to intrusive flash advertising

Flash seemed to be causing a real slow down on my, relatively new, laptop as well (Firefox 3/Linux)… Flashblock is now installed and speed is back up to standard!
