Flashblock Alternatives

    Flashblock is described as 'takes a pessimistic approach to dealing with Macromedia Flash content on a webpage and blocks ALL Flash content from loading. It then leaves placeholders on the webpage that allow you to click to download and then view the Flash content' and is a popular Ad Blocker in the Web Browsers category. There are seven alternatives to Flashblock for a variety of platforms, including Mac, Windows, Linux, Firefox and BSD. The best alternative is NoScript, which is both free and Open Source.
