Maybe I should prefer Flash ads

I’ve been very happy using ClickToFlash, a plugin for Safari that gives me the option to enable Flash elements on a web page. Safari hasn’t crashed for me in… well, I don’t remember the last time Safari crashed.

I’m also very excited about HTML5 and what it will mean for the future of the web.

However, this little bit gave me pause:

When Flash is gone, this overly aggressive marketing will simply be foisted upon you using more “open” technologies like HTML5. And guess what? It’ll be harder to block because it looks more like content than Flash does.
