9. "NoScript" in Firefox blocks all Flash and JavaScript until you allow it, site-by-site

I remember a few years ago...someone interviewed some "executive" at Yahoo about their Flash ads. Yahoo jumped on the bandwagon of the most obtrusive, annoying, disruptive Flash monstrosities on the planet. The interviewer asked "Don't you feel these ads are obtrusive?" His reply was "They're not OBTRUSIVE ENOUGH."

MSNBC has recently been using one of those window shade-style ads that comes down from the screen and covers at least HALF of the total viewing area. As a result, we see the rise of Flash blockers, and people who design Websites for a living...like me...seldom (if ever) use Flash on ANY site because we know how many people choose to block all Flash content.

Too bad...it DOES have its uses, beyond annoying people.
