From time to time, we see a bit of discussion of flash on web pages and for the most part, it's usable if you have some patience and tollerance which I don't. If you are getting a lot of busy on a site, it's most likely that flash is there eating up your cpu cycles.


if you feel you don't need flash for your own purposes, you can disable the flash plugin in safari by going to preferences in safari, security, unchech the box that says "enable plug-ins". There is an alternative methode for flash specifically but it envolves find the flash player and removing it but it is a more permenant solution than you might want to undertake since at some point, it may be fixed.

You can also try running the latest and keeping up with webkit found at:
http://webkit.org/
which is what safari is based on and much of the work done in web kit development is in accessibility and makes its way to safari.
