So you don't need Flash. I left something out of my previous post, about
"Never Activate" being preferable to "Ask To Activate" since it hides
Flash from the page, and that makes some sites use HTML.


Thanks for that distinction.Â* It helps.

What is "never activate" intended to do, then - I mean why is it offered?

It's like deleting the extension, except you can re-enable it easily (if
you find a site that really does require Flash), while with "ask to
activate" the site can detect the presence of Flash. Some sites prefer
(but don't require) Flash. I'd have it prefer the newer format, but some
people do it differently.
