Several months ago, when I was starting to using Mac OS, my browser was Firefox, because it’s stability and the add-ons.
One of my ‘must have’ add-ons is a flash blocker, for to reasons: it blocks annoying ads and saves you battery.
When I moved to Safari, I’ve tried to reach a flash blocker plug-in but no success at all.
Today, I give it another shot and I’ve discovered a great Safari Plug-in called ClickToFlash.

The features of this plugin are:
- Block evil Adobe Flash
Flash only when you want it. - One-click Flash loading
View blocked Flash with just one click. - Higher quality YouTube
Play H.264 videos in QuickTime. - HD YouTube support (beta only)
No more crappy, blocky video. - Website Whitelist
Allow Flash on certain websites. - Application Whitelist (beta only)
Allow Flash in certain applications. - sIFR Typography Support

Now what I hope not to ear the fans on maximum speed, while my CPU usage is constant on 50% just because a Flash Add.

uhm,,how can this work?? i installed it but it still doesnt block the flash…
Which version of Safari are you using?
Have you restarted your browser? I did not had any problem with the installation and its use!
Nice one Jorge. Just DL & installed this-seems to work quite well.
I will certainly miss being able to keep my house warm in the winter just by opening a web page that has Flash on it. I think sometimes the back of my MBP would begin to glow because it got so damn hot.
