I address the word "popularity" in the subject rather than the word
"compatibility" in the body:
Consider http://www.perisherblue.com.au/winter/snowreport/index.php , where
I live for parts of the winter. The, to me, totally intrusive flash of a
bloody flying flag advertising a motorway, of all things, almost prevents me
from reading the content of this page. It's the 'is that a tiger in the
trees?' subconscious compulsion. If it moves it _must_ be looked at.
Even worse is http://www.perisherblue.com.au/winter/snowreport/v_eight.php ,
a picture I like to sort of use as wallpaper on a spare screen (the page
refreshes every 30 minutes, I can see the conditions throughout the day).
Well, I finally got cranky with it and started googling. Found flashblock:
http://flashblock.mozdev.org/
This replaces flash with a nice friendly button to allow one to download and
start the flash _if required_. Since installing this gem I have found it far
more "popular" to me than any amount of flash advertising on a page. If I
really really need to look at the flash, and it is obviously "content", I
still easily can.
