Outside of Flash games and one or two all flash websites (like HBO) what is it used for? Browsers can do HTML5 for YouTube and Safari can play Netflix without plugins.

I run a flash blocker and I don't remember the last time I had to enable a pee I run a flash blocker and I don't remember the last time I had to enable Flash on a page. Facebook games (if I were to use that kind of thing) would be the one exception I can think of.

I prefer Flash for videos and well...everything that can just start playing, take up bandwidth and make noise. Because it's easier to block that than an HTML5 content (without any specialized plug-ins in proper browsers, too).
