ClickToFlash is a highly customizable extension that prevents Safari from launching the Flash plug-in automatically, resulting in faster browsing, reduced fan usage, and increased battery life. It replaces every Flash object by an unobtrusive placeholder that can be clicked to load the Flash content. Further, it can replace many Flash-based media players by Safari's native HTML5 media player.

Just activated this extension. Flashing out the flash is a whole new surfing experience. TNX :-).

That's a bug in Safari, so you should complain to Apple. For me this doesn't happen more than 1 in 50 times though, with hardware acceleration.

Love this plugin, especially the ability to download videos. However, it seems to have broken on YouTube with the recent YouTube changes - it has stopped replacing the Flash player with the HTML5 player.

It hasn't: YouTube now uses HTML5 for users that do not have the Flash plugin.

I have used this plug-in for several years with no problems, and just want to thank the developer. I've never experienced any problems with it, and find my browsing experiences much enhanced because of it!

Is it me or does this extension cause Quicktime to have very large cache files? In my case over 100M after viewing a couple of youtube clips. I guess its not a big issue but this was after just a couple of minutes of use.

The videos you watch in HTML5 are downloaded to your hard drive, they are not streamed: that's why you can seek backwards and the video doesn't reload from the beginning if you reload the page. The 720p versions from YouTube and Vimeo can be several hundreds of MBs. I wouldn't worry about it as they will be cleaned automatically.

This plug in worked well once. I haven't had it working properly for some time. 10.7 or 5.1 incompatibility?

The extension still works normally in 10.7 and in Safari 5.1+, Safari 5.2, and the WebKit nighlies… Send me an email if you need specific help.
