What's the best Flash blocker for Safari?

[Matt T]

Can somebody please recommend me a good Flash blocker for Safari?

I've done a few searches and can't seem to find anything. The best I could find was ClickToFlash, but no matter what I do it refuses to install.

Thanks guys

Are you already running Safari 5? ClickToFlash IS a great flash blocker, but I installed it when running Safari 4 and it just kept working under Safari 5. Maybe there is an installer issue if you are already running Safari 5 and the developers need feedback to correct it.

No I'm using Safari 4 - I can't upgrade to 5 because my data allowance is VERY limited, and I can't afford to download the installer.

I've tried numerous times to install ClickToFlash but it simply never installs - I keep getting the same error: "The installer could not write the receipt". I've tried restarting and installing, using an admin account, the terminal commands they suggest on their site - I don't know why, but it just won't work. Which is why I'm asking for a good alternative.

This one is great for blocking Flash ads, but it is just for the ads, not all flash.

Don't install flash to start with tbf.

The new Adblock for Safari extension. Much more flexible than ClicktoFlash.

For flash blocking (not just ads) I use ClickToFlash. For ad blocking, I use Safari AdBlock and SafariBlock.

Maybe Flashless?

It's odd CTF won't install for you. Were you trying the latest beta, or the latest stable release?

For flash blocking (not just ads) I use ClickToFlash. For ad blocking, I use Safari AdBlock and SafariBlock.

those adblockers didnt work for me - I ended up installing

In what way? Does it not work for you? Have you installed the plug in or the extension?

Why don't you just uninstall flash if ClickToFlash ain't for you?
