Default Browsers - option to turn of FLASH

Bloody websites, using so much flash its hogging CPU resources (mainly when I have multiple tabs open)

Wish there was an option to selectively turn FLASH off.

I doubt any sort of Flash is "hogging" system resources, unless you're selectively watching huge Flash movies??

I'd be doing a system heathcheck if I was you, see what else is running.

DW - I had the same site open in 3 tabs each with a different page from the site, but all relying heavily on flash video and advertising.

Problem solved:

Just seems odd, I often have loads of Flash movies running, including any dev Flash that i'm working on and its never affected my system.
