A lot of web site require (or insist that the require the latest flash. Long-story-short -- and I nay be wrong about this -- but it seems that the main use of flash is for animated ads. When I recently began portupgrding stuff, I found my 2.4Gh/1G RAM desktop almost brought to a stop. top showed the kde-gnash was one culprit; so: Is there a way of turning these animated ads off? firefox is the best browser, but had no tts builtin, and having builr kttsd and other speech apps, I usually use Konqueror.
