Flashblock

I first heard about Lorenzo Colitti and Philip Chee's Flashblock in one of Jon's presentations last year at Flashforward. Jon presented it in the context of a tool for critical social theory experimentation, but I've found a use for it to speed up my web browsing.

For the past year, Firefox has been consistently pegged at nearly 100% CPU under normal usage. After some profiling, I found that Flash is taking up most of these cycles. Basically, "zombie" SWFs are running in the background, computing animations, doing security checks, etc. Flashblock turns off Flash content by default, replacing it with a button that lets you opt-in to running individual SWF files.

While this is rather effective, it's a suboptimal solution. What I really want is a way to cap the resources that Flash is allowed to use.
