Blocking flash should not need Javascript enabled to work.

A lot of websites have both abusive javascript, sometimes repogramming your mouse, sometimes endless tiny messageboxes forcing one to force closed K-Meleon in task manager, and others are even able to use Javascript to install malware on my PC despite having the strictest Javascript secury.

Flash is supposed to be able to do lots of bad things too, though not as bad as Javascript.  Flash stands out for those "local shared object" (aka. flash cookies) on a PC as spyware.  Some sites like eBay even make up propaganda on how the spyware is good for you.

Anyway, there needs a way for Flashblock to work when Javascript is off, too.  MSIE at highest security setting that it blocks flash, javascript, and quicktime all at once.

It would be good to have a sort of quicktime block as it's no fun to go to a page and it wants to download a huge quicktime file that's unstoppable without closing the page and encourages K-Meleon (or about any browser) to crash.

Then there's Adobe Acrobat.  It should be easy where if a website tries to force Acrobat to open in a browser window, some small setting programmers could make to have an option to **treat every PDF file like an EXE file**.  Seriously, this needs to be done as every browser lets abusive websites load Adobe Acrobat in the browser window so the webmaster can laugh as lots of people's browsers lag and then quite often also crash.[/quote]
