"Another Firefox add-on is Flash Block which will stop all flash content from being downloaded."

Just tried it. Sure enough, no Flash ads. However on clicking on the YouTube clip, lo and behold, there is the emnbedded video, prior to me watching the clip! Also, I went over to the BBC online site, to find that I have to click on all their boxes, which have now been blacked out, except for the Flash Block button to activate them!

Not really ideal.

PS 5 minutes later- That first one was an advert that I had to watch before the clip. I started watching, and another (GOOGLE this time) advert jumped upin a box, that I had to pysically delete to watch the clip in peace!! Google should be sued!!! I'll stop there- as you can see, I'm getting more and more angry!
