Some of my browsers do not have Flash installed -- deliberately. With
Firefox on my primary PC, I use the Flash blocker. Even when I use
Opera with Flash installed, I typically hit 'Skip Intro' when I run
into Flash.
In my experience, the 'noise to content' ratio of Flash material is so
high it isn't worth the bother.

(stupidity is a reason, _not_ an excuse).
