  Flashblock

  Very good!

  by: JoyceNgo on 22-Jan-2008 02:45:19 PM

  Pros: FlashBlock is one of the first extensions I got ever since I downloaded Firefox. This tool helps you block unwanted or wanted flash movies and objects and has a play button asking if you would want to play the flash movie or not. I find this very useful because I hate advertisements with flashy and annoying animations. This add-on saves you the annoyance, and is very useful.

  Cons: Although it blocks ads, on certain websites or objects (myspace music player), after clicking the play button, it would just block the entire flash object instead of playing it. Only flaw so far..

  Pros: Blocks all flash, no more waiting for unwanted Video to load before page completes. Able to initiate flash when wanted.
