2KTZ  having downloaded 1.6b2 of click to flash it is great !!....

I'm using latest safari and snowleopard...

a few things i have noticed.....

1) when i click on REPLY button in my yahoo mail there is a outline of a small red box INSIDE and behind where it says REPLY..and some sort of word inside of the red box....

2) again in yahoo mail..you seem to have to click/check on the load invisible flash in order to get the IM to work in yahoo mail....

3) if you use private browsing and disable cache in safari ...it does seem to take a while to load pages...now this may be just me..because i just don't like a bunch of cookies and cache filling up all the time so thats why i use those options....

so has anyone else has noticed any of the above?

hope the devs can answer what i have noticed.....other than that it is great....

highly recommended

2KTZ  here is a note of what i get when i put cursor over the attachment button on e-mail replies....

" flash/uploader-2_7.swf"

maybe the developer will know what this means....

i think the word behind and in the red outlined box as stated in the above says flash....

if i leave the cursor over the attach button words change after a few seconds to..."attachments for e-mail" and sometimes it does not... and every time i move cursor over that button it says what i stated above...and not attachments etc...

would be interested in what developer thinks of this...

SPRINGHEELMAC  INDISPENSABLE!!! Really. Without this my online experience would be one slow, bogged down advertising hell. With this I'm able to use the latest Flash even on my 1.42GHz eMac without slow down. Its nice to know I can set up which sites I want to always display Flash and which I don't. That way I can just blaze along. Thanks to the devs!!!

JON555  This app is a lifesaver. No, really. If you haven't downloaded it yet, do it now. It will save you so much headache it's not even funny.

All those flash ads (or any flash for that matter) just looks like an empty box with the Flash symbol in the middle. Nothing Flash-related loads unless you click on it to do so (or you could simply add that site to a list that always allows Flash from that site). It's a fantastic app that's very feature-rich. It has definitely helped my battery's charge to last longer on my MacBook Pro.

Keep up the awesome work devs!

JEFFREY HARRIS  This thing is better than I had hoped.

I use the Glims Safari plug-in to reload multiple browser windows, with multiple tabs open in each. After quitting Safari or logging out, it can take a minute or more to reload all my tabs (sometimes 20 or more). ClicktoFlash cut that time down to mere seconds. I was stunned at how quickly I was able to actually use Safari again after relaunching.

I have no idea about the stability of the thing at this point, but it feels like I got my browser back!

EJ1  I had tried ClickToFlash before but couldn't get it to run on my system. This version installed easily worked right away after restarting Safari. I just watched CNN video straight through with audio and video in sync on my 7 year old iMac G4. Amazing.

ERUNNO  This is a great plug-in. Once feature I really miss though is the ability to whitelist Flash applets *from* a domain and not *on* a domain. This would allow all first party flash elements like menus and YouTube (if whitelisted) but still block all Flash ads which are usually served by third-party advertisement services.

PETERPAN23  great plugin - even gerater with an off-key for temporally disabling the plugin. e.g. "command+shift+klick" on the link opens a new tab with disabled ClickToFlash

NONEOFYOURBIZ  Absolutely the best Safari plug-in ever.

Flash is the biggest bane to the modern web, and this plug-in does a great job of providing a solution now while we wait until Flash is finally killed forever.

Everyone should install this NOW to make Safari load pages faster and avoid all the Flash junk all over the web.

SJK  ClickToFlash's "Load H.264 videos from YouTube" setting is incompatible with SafariStand's "Flash Movie > Copy Movie to Download Folder" command. Without enabling that setting, appending &fmt=18 to a YouTube URL usually loads H.264 video that SS can copy. Any suggestions how to get YouTube to load H.264 automatically *and* be able to copy the video?
