Google "flash blocker" -- I use it all the time, but I'm still running 10.4 here (10.5 if I need to, 10.6 on the MacBook). It keeps Flash off unless you tell it to run, saves lots of CPU time.

Flash is probably the worst software out there at the moment, almost as bad as ATM. Must be written in Basic, translated to C (NOT ++) via SQL Server running in Sanskrit, in real time. Huge resource hog for displaying sound and really crappy video.

Naturally, it's the "industry Standard".

Interesting you say that. About every week the Flash updater wants to update Flash, which of course means going through some various hoops to get the files, approve the update, typing in codes, then shutting down the browser and restarting it, and various other annoying activities. Not sure how to kill Flash as it seems many sites require Flash to do various things.

Ditch Flash player, it eats 95% of CPU time while idle.....

Safari isn't anything to get excited about, either.
