Question:

How to stop flash advertisements.

Additional information:

Answer:

Users can download free add-ons that enable or disable their browsers from viewing Macromedia Flash. Below are a few recommendations that we have enjoyed using.

• No! Flash - Enable and disable flash animations, scripts, animated images, videos, background sounds and much more from your systray.
• Flash and Pics Control 2.0 - Enable and disable flash animations and pictures from within the browser.
