said by Pentangle :. . When you get the Flash request to store data on the hard drive, do you allow if you feel the site is safe? Sure (10kb worth, anyway). If it's a site I'm visiting on a one-shot basis, negatory. But sites like YouTube, etc., that I'm at fairly regularly I allow. That prevents the annoyance of being asked at every video, and besides, I go to that 'sys' folder every week or two and clean 'em all out and start over. Keeps me from getting that 'not-so-fresh' feeling. 
Flash is a POS-- but it's not such a POS that I feel it necessary to ban it from my computer. I like watching videos online.  It would be nice if sites could use some other format (and/or provide generally better quality), but they don't. Therefore . . . .
said by La Luna :. . If you decline to use Adobe flashplayer or MS Silverlight, you will no longer be able to view any flash content/flash videos, it's as simple as that. The mere thought of such a horror has me all broken out in hives, Luna . . .  |
