Flash - the most annoying piece of web software ever

[friedpie]

I was tired of all those blinking, moving, distracting, annoying flash ads (see the Jetway ads here for example) so I uninstalled Flash. Now everywhere I go I get prompted dozens of times a day to install Flash. I guess when you go to a site that uses flash it will prompt you to install it if you don't have it already. Jeez, I can't escape this thing. With it installed it was annoying. Without it, it's still annoying.

i love flash. although i hate it when they overuse web technologies. too much flashing blinking on websites sucks. i guess just have to depend on the stupid web developers.

i like flash. but generally speaking, i dont like them on websites. they make things too complicated.

i like mindless and seamless browsing, simple html, no fancy animations or anything. just keep it simple. no need to show of fancy flash designs. a flash MOVIE is cool though.

I like it best when you click the back button, and get re-prompted to install flash.

There's probably a way to turn off those prompts.

Flash is ground-breaking technology. The things you can do with it on a web application level are barely explored by the masses. It's a shame most of you only see people exploit it by creating invasive ads.

I use Firefox, and installed a plugin so that Flash won't play until I click on it. No more annoy flash ads!
