Uinstalling it completely is a bit of overkill. That’s like uninstalling a GPU rendered game because it kills battery life.

Flash, like anything that takes a lot of resources if need be, will hurt battery life WHEN YOU RUN IT.

It does not inherently do anything to your computer. Think running HTML5 videos through your GPU via hardware acceleration doesn’t hurt your battery life? Think again.

This is what I do.

With the YouTube 5 and HTML5 Audio plugins installed in Safari, I can get by, and for anything else I use Google Chrome.

The advantage is that webserver logs show that no flash is installed when I visit a site, and higher traffic like that will help encourage use of HTML5 alternatives to flash. Since ClickToFlash reports itself as a flash-compatible player, that will not have the same effect.

… even after uninstalling you can cheat looking at Flash content with Google Chrome as it has its very own embedded Flash plugin
