By installing Macromedia Flash, really :D. Most of the sites use it for display quality, so you'll have a hard time getting around it.

It's resonably sized, it doesn't bite...

Tony..........calm down.

As radar says, most sites use it. It's one of those essentials like winzip, acrobat reader, etc. Download it and give it a whirl. If you really don't want it we'll tell you where it all lives and how to get rid :cool: chill.

Totally useless piece of fluff. Very few of the sites I frequent use it, but I suppose the genre has some bearing. OK if they put a 'skip intro' link (often almost invisible), but sites which don't do so immediately lose me as a casual visitor.
Turning off all 'active' elements in your browser will stop it from firing. Most active stuff is cosmetic anyway, with the possible exception of those annoying Java-only menus.
