Rants and Raves
Thanks for visiting my blog!
Two weeks ago I used IE 6’s new “Manage Addins…” to disable the Flash plugin. I was worried about some of the content I’d miss. After two weeks, my experience has been that I have not missed much. Here is a short list of what I’ve noticed without Flash:
- The Good:
- Stopped getting annoying Flash-based ads that were hijacking my web-browsing experience
- SlashDot is working again. I was getting flash-based ads that were forwarding me to other sites.
- The Bad (sorta):
- Several sites interactive stuff isn’t available to me, including:
- BestBuy’s"What is XBox 360"
- GameSpot’sTop 5 Stories
- MSNBC’sPictures of the Week
- Several sites interactive stuff isn’t available to me, including:
Overall I am happy. The good certainly outweighs the bad IMHO. What’s your experience?
