ClickToFlash

John Gruber of Daring Fireball explains:

ClickToFlash is an open source web content plugin for Mac OS X that blocks all Flash content on web pages by default. As the name implies, if you do want to load a Flash element, just click it. I give ClickToFlash my highest recommendation — everyone should install it.
ClickToFlash does for Safari what the Flashblock extension does for Firefox, making webpages less distracting and helping your computer to run at lower temperatures. ClickToFlash is free for Tiger, Leopard, and Snow Leopard.

ClickToFlash (“your web browsing prophylactic”)

Have you switched over to Safari? Or, are you still using Firefox? I keep going back and forth. Thanks for the resource, Michael.

I sometimes use Safari, but my heart belongs to Firefox. Safari is faster, but I find various Firefox extensions really helpful.
