BlockFlash Plus is a Google Chrome extension which disables Flash and Silverlight animations and videos in your browser’s webpages until you say otherwise.

In terms of advertisement blocking, this is a little more ‘brute force’ than the Adblock+ Chrome extension we looked at previously, however it is just as effective. Whenever you open a webpage with a flash animation or silverlight video, they will automaticaly be neutered until you click on the ‘play’ button which will be inserted into the box.

Here is the BBC News website before:

And after activating the BlockFlash Plus code.

You can see that it is totally disabled, which leads for a much more enjoyable user experience when surfing the net.

As stated previously, this is a little more ‘brute force’ than the other advertising blocker, and so there are no configuration options or settings to play with. That said, if you’re looking for a basic way to pause Flash and Silverlight until you want to play them – this could be just the ticket for you.
