I don’t know about you, but I loathe Flash. Sure it’s handy for things like YouTube, but on the Mac it’s renowned for consistently hogging vast swathes of memory. The ClickToFlash plugin for Safari however, is here to save the day – blocking Flash areas of a page yet still allowing you to activate Flash on webpages with just a single click.
Not content with just preventing Flash from auto-loading, ClickToFlash also substitutes YouTube’s Flash videos for their H.264 QuickTime equivalents as you browse the YouTube website, and even allows you to whitelist specific websites to automatically show Flash. The plugin also blocks Flash in any applications that use Safari’s WebKit engine – though applications can opt out of this, if they require Flash.
I’ve been using ClickToFlash since version 1.0, and it’s now a vital part of my browser toolkit. If you’re on Mac OS X and Safari is your browser of choice, I’d highly recommend it.
