Cure the web of Flash

Flash has to be one of the most common plug-ins for web browsers, and it has led to some extremely annoying things on the web - Animated adds and other crap on websites. For Example, ESPNsoccernet.com has a video player that starts every time you visit the page. This cannot be disabled, and it is annoying.

FlashBlock for Firefox fixes that. It turns flash items off and allows you to turn something on or enable flash for a specific page if you wan that. There is also a program called ClickToFlash for Safari on OS X is similar.

Flash has its place, but not everywhere.
