BashFlash

BashFlash... Flash animations and videos are among the top processor hogs on Mac OS X. A single poorly-designed Flash banner - even in an inactive window or tab - can suck up an entire processor core with its shady mortgage offers. Your 5-hour battery life gets cut in half, your laptop runs hotter, and your legs cook to medium-rare.

That's where BashFlash comes into play. BashFlash lets you stop a running Flash plug-in dead in its tracks, letting your new-fangled Mac cool down, use less power, and give you more time to do whatever it is you do. Probably blog or tweet or something.

Version 1.2:

• Support for Google Chrome with built-in Flash Player.
• Experimental support for OOPP/Lorentz/Electrolysis development builds of Firefox (even PowerPC?).

Requirements

• Mac OS X 10.5 or later for Chrome, 10.6 or later for Safari.
• Safari (64-bit only) or Google Chrome (32-bit or 64-bit)
• Mac OS X 10.5 or later for Firefox (PowerPC support untested)
