I have disabled flash, and while I am at it, I blocked ads. Am running this on all my Macs and Linux machines. I don’t run Msoft any more (too much trouble).

What’s funny is I still get the pshising calls “your computer is infected, goto this website “ I reply ‘i don’t have a windows computer”.....click....

More reasons to love my Chromebook and to unplug my Win 10 Toshiba laptop from the internet and to use the Win 10 Toshiba only for my own spreadsheets.

Flash made my Waterfox freeze all the time, so I uninstalled it, anticipating that I’d forego watching online videos. To the contrary, most videos play just fine—I rarely forego one.

Most news videos won’t run without Flash. Far as I know. Anyone have a suggestion?

SIGH. . . Here we go once again. Adobe itself is begging people who inflict Adobe's Flash player on themselves (what are they, masochists?) to hurry up and patch over 36 SERIOUS breaches in security that were discovered in Flash's code that can allow your devices and computers to be breached! That 36 more since the last time, what was it, three weeks or so ago? JUST SAY NO TO ADOBE FLASH! — PING!


JUST SAY NO TO FLASH!
