  • Chrome isn't a solution either, as this most recent big exploit also proved it is vulnerable.

    I've been Flash free since February. Best thing ever.

  • I've been using Click to Flash since it came out. Wonderful solution. I'd go FF except the BBC refuse to get with the program.

  • You can easily play content in Safari by going to the Develop menu > User Agent > Safari iOS x.x - iPad. Since iOS devices don't use Flash many websites fall back to HTML5 content for mobile devices, so tricking a website into thinking it's running on an iPad should load the HTML5 content. Works fine for me for playing Flash video on many sites.

  • Silverlight was deprecated by Microsoft. Developers should move away from it to HTML5.

    As far as I'm aware, they busted the Chrome sandbox by piggybacking on a Windows 0day; Google mitigated within hours. Chrome is still the best option by far if you must use Flash.

  • Been doing this, with the once-in-a-while Chrome solution, for over a year at least. My laptop battery loves me now.
  • I get that these vulnerabilities are newly reported, but the idea that Flash is a stone around its users' necks is not new. I've been Flash free since Gruber gave detailed instructions back in 2010: http://daringfireball.net/2010/11/flash_free_and_cheating_with_google_chrome

    Except for the server Chrome has running in the background on your computer communicating data back to google. I'm good. I will just ignore any sites that still use flash. If it's required for a work site, I'll open it in windows via Parallels. I always just close windows so it reverts to the original file.

    Why is that better than the Click to Flash option in Safari ? ... I'm genuinely curious not disagreeing. I tried Chrome for ten minutes but Little Snitch lit up like a Christmas tree with all the out going data connections to Google and others. I removed it immediately.

    For the same reason that it's safer for police officers to handcuff someone and place them in the squad car, rather than let them stand around outside: even if they slip the cuffs, they're still contained.

  • Well, I went to uninstall Flash, and now I can't use Google Music. When I go to load the website, it says that I need to have Flash to listen to music. I thought Google would have been better than rely on Flash!

  • Thank you for reminding me to update my Flash. After reading it I just went straight and installed it.

  • Timely editorial. I actually removed Flash last night. Then is went to a critical web site I use and one key part used Flash. Big sigh. I reluctantly reinstalled Flash. Now I'm going to install Click to Flash.
  • you can also cleanly uninstall 'Adobe Flash' and everything else that has been installed using a 'Package' (.PKG) using 'UninstallPKG'
  • Flash and Java will never die. There're a lot of guys who studied this stuff at university and will use it forever no matter their employer. There're even national government sites developed in Java. It's epidemic. No cure. I wish someday Flash and Java cease to exist, but don't hold your breath.

    I was just going to say, the real question is why the hell is Google towing this junk truck along behind them… looks like I now have the answer…

    The sad thing is, you're probably right. It's the same reason I had to learn Rhino instead of SolidWorks in school. It's because that's what the professor knew, and so that's what got taught. I could have taken the SolidWorks elective, but it never came around at the right time. Oh well, my company just bought a few seats of SolidWorks so it's all good I guess

  • Got rid of it a long time ago. If I go to a website that requires Flash then I simply stop visiting them.
