Stop Flash from automatically loading with ClickToFlash
I love the web, I hate Flash. It’s a slow bloated resource hog that makes browsing the web painful, loud, and obnoxious. Really the only time I actually want to use it is on video sharing sites like YouTube, when using Flash is MY choice and not some obnoxious web advertisers with a “Congratulations… blah blah blah” talking Flash ad. Ok now that my rant is over, you can stop Flash from automatically loading by using an awesome Safari add-on called ClickToFlash, which allows you to only load Flash when you want to by clicking on a marked and disabled Flash region and manually enabling it yourself! Genius! Somehow I had never heard of ClickToFlash before, but one of our brilliant readers suggested using it and I am so glad that I did. So, are you sick of Flash getting in the way of your web experience? Download QuickToFlash now and save yourself, and thanks again to Adam Pieniazek for the tip!

Oh, and an infinite amount of thanks to the ClickToFlash dev for restoring sanity and stability to my web experience.

It does’t fix for me. I can’t find any icon of clicktoflash on my Chrome browser after install.
