Flash is evil. 0) It's poorly designed, so it uses much more cpu than it really needs. 1) It's incredibly buggy, and Adobe can't be bothered to fix it. 2) Adobe makes $$$ from all this commercial ad flash use. Back in the day, before Adobe inhaled Macromedia, Flash was decent and improving with every release. Adobe changed all that. IMO, intentionally. >(Is it just Mac browsers that have this problem, or do browsers in >other OSs disagree with Flash too?) Flash is the cause of browser crashes on all platforms. heh.
