http://tidbits.com/ Adobe Flash isn’t only vulnerable, it’s being used to hack Macs. Instead of merely applying the latest patch, Security Editor Rich Mogull shows you how to sandbox Flash and limit future attacks. en-us Copyright 2013 TidBITS Publishing Inc.

I do understand the reasons for ad blocking. I hope that users will remember to join subscription programs to support the sites they use.

TidBITS is just one such site that while it does run locally served ads, also has a nifty membership option: http://tidbits.com/members.html]]> http://db.tidbits.com/article/13545?rss#comments_17637 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 07:46:22 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13545#comments_17637 http://db.tidbits.com/article/13545?rss#comments_17636 Tue, 12 Feb 2013 07:35:54 EDT http://tidbits.com/article/13545#comments_17636
Went back to Firefox and installed the download helper and it worked fine as the video was rendered in HTML 5. Not sure what will happen with a Flash only video. Will try the Chrome add on and see if that works.

Overall I agree with Adam, I notice no choppy streaming on the sites I tried.

I like it because it makes flash easy to run when you need it, plus it allows you to whitelist specific sites. (e.g. I have Hulu whitelisted along with Youtube and a few others.)

It also can block Java and Silverlight if you'd like.]]>
