FlashFrozen is a menu item that allows you to quit the Flash plug-in in a browser if a Flash animation is hogged your Mac's CPU cycles or freezing the loading of web pages.
What's New
Version 1.3:
By popular demand: AutoKill Mode now available!You can now set FlashFrozen to automatically and immediately stop the Flash Player plugin whenever a webpage tries to load it.If you eventually need to watch Flash content, simply turn off AutoKill Mode and FlashFrozen will behave normally again.
Requirements
Intel, Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later, Safari, Firefox or Chrome browser.
I love this app, but with Safari 5.1 it seems to be broaken. It will still kill flash, but flash appears to be gone until you restart Safari. Reloading the page or opening a new page to the same or different site will not bring flash back. It still works fine with FireFox. I'm running an early 2011 quad core MBP and 10.6.8.
Works great!!!
I had been using either ClickToFlash or ClickToPlugin but something went wrong with the latest Adobe Flash Player update and I can't get either of them to function properly (even after uninstalling CTP and Flash several times and even their preference files).
Anyway... very glad to find this plugin since those animated Flash ads drive me nuts!!
In my opinion, ClickToFlash is a much better solution: Flash content is replaced by an unobtrusive grey "Flash" button so you can choose individually if you want to see the content.
