Comments on: What is wrong with AT&T’s Flash Ads? http://blog.johnford.org/what-is-wrong-with-atts-flash-ads/ the things that I remembered to write about Sat, 04 Feb 2012 01:04:01 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: Sara http://blog.johnford.org/what-is-wrong-with-atts-flash-ads/comment-page-1/#comment-6200 Sara Wed, 18 May 2011 02:33:17 +0000 http://blog.johnford.info/?p=203#comment-6200 That is great idea. I think that a typical firefox user isn’t going to install extensions to block these things, and the point is that this is a real bug in either firefox or flash that is going to be blamed on firefox. Thank you. That is great idea.

I think this is largely because publishers and ad networks have limits on file size but not on CPU usage. Therefore creative agencies turn to CPU intensive action script in order to produce high quality ads while staying under the file size limit. CPU usage of Flash ads is an increasing problem.

Firefox should perform sufficiently well without any extensions being necessary. @sargas

You’re right, of course. Firefox should perform sufficiently well without any extensions being necessary.

Hell, someone might want to use a useful flash website (a game perhaps) and be hit by this, as there is no reason to think whatever AT&T is doing is specific to ads.

Yes, any and all ads. Be sure to subscribe to an ad-blocking list (will show up after download). Any ads it misses, just right-click the ad and add it to the banned list. It's easy! Re: Erunno…
