This annoys me for four distinct reasons:
- I don't like flash being used for ads. Period.
- If you don't have the programs installed, viewing a page with a flash ad will prompt you to install it, and there is no way to tell it "I am never going to install it" or "I do not have rights to install it on this computer".
- Flash is typically bandwidth-intensive and processor-intensive.
- A whole lot of people voiced their objections to flash at the outset.
