[QUOTE="DarkestRitual, post: 1003547, member: 96273"] It isn't something that most users would really care too much about, but since we're super geeky here, we don't like the flash codec. It makes our CPU work harder than it needs to, unless you're running Windows. Linux and Mac OS X users have been subjected to inefficient coding for too long on our platforms, and we don't want to run our systems into the ground (high cpu use for flash content) just viewing web ads, or streaming video. As a result of so many web ads being scripted in the flash codec, clicktoflash also serves as a great ad filter. :) [/QUOTE]
