Flash Filtering

[Jesse the K]

This following works in both 5.5.4 and the sneaky peak:

Flash files end in the "swf" extension

Use preferences (command-comma) -> ad blocking -> Don't load  
anything... list

Click plus sign then type
	.*\.swf

to add "filter out anything with an ".swf" extension.

If you do want to see a particular blocked item (often I can tell by  
context which empty square is an ad, and which is a movie I want to  
view), click the square.

Or

If you want to show all flash at a site, visit the site, then click  
the lightswitch toolbar icon (or option-command-comma).
There, delete the

		.*\.swf
