Weren't there like 100+ other vulnerability that should invite you to uninstall it already years from ago?

Or if you really need it don't use anything that is using Flash and wait for a fix. Most stuff is HTML5 nowadays.

Change plugins to click to play in order to prevent automatic Flash execution.

Flash market penetration is very high... I'm sure most people here have it installed, and you can say that about any software, Java comes to mind.

All it takes is a bad flash advertisement to turn eyeballs into zombie botnet.

Is that that simple? even if you run linux, BSD or *nix?

noscript rules. I don't have flash installed and it pisses me off when a site prompts with their stupid message that "You need to have flash V.1.xyz installed to blabla"

uBlock is one and the other one looks like Adblock (not Adblock Plus or similar, just Adblock).

Is there anything that still requires Flash? Only very occasionally I come across crappy video streaming sites that require it. Extremely rarely there are websites made with flash (company websites..) or even Java (mini games/calculators..) but I can live without them.
