ClickToFlash

If you know me, you know I love finding new crap on the internet.

One of the coolest things I’ve seen in a long time is a Safari plugin called ClickToFlash. If you saw the picture above, you already saw the main purpose, but ClickToFlash is MUCH more than a Flash-blocker, and I’ll explain why in a moment. Trust me, even with a higher-end system with maxed out memory, a page carelessly loaded with 20 or so embedded YouTube videos will still bring your system to it’s knees.

Beyond selectively loading Flash applets (including ANY video sharing site’s player and Flash ads and banners), the sickest feature is that you can automatically bypass Flash all together for YouTube players and go directly to the H.264 version, which even supports HD. No more clunky/choppy/half-loaded videos. If you can play QuickTime, your YouTube experience will automatically be better.

Go to the site and install this now by clicking on the picture above. Best part? It’s FREE!

(Yet another reason to use Safari on a Mac. Booyah.)
