This is old news. It's meant as a developer thing only, as in RIAs
caching components. It's not tracking anyone's browsing data. There is
no big brother here. Every year, people freak out and start new
threads. The sky is not falling. Stop hoarding food....
As for the generic "let's remove Flash" reaction, I say, that's a fine
personal choice. You can also write with sticks and rocks if you want
to, or use an outhouse -- and I say enjoy that freedom. But for anyone
using an RIA, the only thing you have to fear is this email thread.

Quoting Craig Jackson <[email protected]>:
Just stop allowing flash to run, unless you tell it to run. Use
FlashBlock for Firefox
(https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/433).

I'm rather frustrated to find out that Adobe isn't honoring browser settings. I checked and my flash plugin has a history of all of the sites (that have flash) that I have ever visited even though I reset (clear cache and cookies) almost daily (for web
development).
Not that I needed one, but one more reason I dislike Flash.
