Flash is a resource hog and I avoid using it if at all possible.

If your concerned about Flash Player, install Safari Extension called ClickToFlash. Flash stuff only plays if you click on it. And you can white list sites (e.g. YouTube) if you want the flash to play automatically.

Yes it will - simply put Flash is terrible!

Most of us use FlashBlock or ClickToFlash to control when it runs to save battery life.

As others mentioned, Flash is a battery hog. I use the Youtube5 extension in Safari to play YT vids without Flash.

Which one is better clicktoflash or YT5 extension?

They have different purposes. Click to Flash blocks all flash content unless you click on it and Youtube5 is a video plug in replacement.
