My web designer buddies love Flash, and I trust them to know what they’re talking about from a technical perspective.
But as a website user, I hate the Flash-driven ads that distract from news stories and research articles.
In fact, it was the recent spate of ugly American Airlines ads that finally motivated me to de-install Flash, once and for all.
After discovering and deleting 4 different instances of Flash controls and changing browser Security settings, I seem to have finally killed the stupid thing.
Having gone through this process, though, I feel sorry for the average user who may also want to get rid of Flash, because it takes a little know-how to figure it out, including how to un-register Active X controls in Windows.
No doubt someone will tell me that it’s easier on a Mac.
