FlashOut 1.21 is now available for download!
FlashOut is a freeware utility to safely disable and enable Flash for Internet Explorer.
It even eliminates Flash pop-ups.
You can enable and disable Flash without even closing your browser!
It is not a "local proxy", so it does not do any content filtering and does not interfere with your Web surfing.
It is not a plugin, so it does not slow down your browser or take up additional memory.
Download here - 55 KB including the installer wizard. Small and fast, written in VC++.
You can install the new version right over the old one, without uninstalling first.
Screenshot is available.
By disabling Flash, you can still support your favorite Web site (such as Anandtech) and allow regular
banners to load, but you will not be harassed by the annoying walking talking Flash animations.
Why anyone would want to disable Flash:
[*]Many people find Flash to be extremely annoying and distracting
[*]Flash is rarely used for a legitimate reason, and is usually used in animated ads/banners
[*]Flash loading and initialization slows down your surfing
Instructions:
Simply download the program from the link above and install it using the included Setup wizard.
When you disable Flash, a small cross (x) will be shown in place of a Flash animation.
Features:
[*]Disables Flash in a non-destructive way, with a click of a button.
[*]Allows you to re-enable Flash with a click of a button.
[*]User-friendly and even beautiful.
[*]No annoying prompts from Internet Explorer regarding Flash not being installed.
Guarantee:
I guarantee that are no backdoors or trojans in this program.
It does not collect any information about you or your surfing.
I did my best to make sure that this program is bug-free.
(If I wanted to distribute a virus, it would certainly not be under my username here on Anandtech).
