Though I know plenty of people are using Flashblock with no problems, I'm completely against recommending it when there's a simpler option. With Chrome, not only did it not do anything, it was incredibly difficult to figure out how to work, and it made the browser soft-freeze rather often. I don't have a great PC, but it's still good enough to play basic games, so such a simple (in theory) add on shouldn't have been causing those sort of problems unless something was wrong with it.engelina wrote:Flashblock for firefox ( add-on) : Link
Anyway, for those who have the same issue with it or just don't want Flashblock, here's how to turn Flash off in a few browsers:
Chrome:
Code: Select all

[list][*]Open a new tab
[*]Type "about:plugins" in the bar and hit enter
[*]This will take you to chrome://plugins/ (you can also just type "chrome://plugins/" instead)
[*]Find Flash on the list and click Disable; the action is instant and does not require a browser restart
[*]When finished doing whatever requires Flash to be disabled, go back to the chrome://plugins/ page and Enable it[/list]
Code: Select all

[list][*]Open the "Tools" menu in Firefox and click "Add-ons." If you don't see the "Tools" menu, click the "Firefox" button instead and then click "Add-ons."
[*]Click the "Plugins" tab on the "Add-ons" window
[*]Find and click the entry for Flash
[*]Click the "Disable" button
[*]Restart the browser[/list]
Everything ends up pointing me towards ClickToFlash.
