This month I removed Adobe Flash from Windows 7, both in Firefox and IE. I use Firefox 99% of the time. I read in this forum that several posters had already done the same. So far I'm not missing Flash, and I have no plans to reintroduce it on my laptop.

So now I am wondering why do I have BetterPrivacy 1.68 installed as an add-on in Firefox. Are there super cookies not related to Flash that BetterPrivacy will help delete? fyi, Firefox is set to delete cookies after I close the browser, and not to accept third party cookies, if any of this matters.

I don't think so. Without Flash, there shouldn't be Flash cookies. I can't find any documentation that says BetterPrivacy works with any other cookies.
