I really wish there was more competition in the "Flash" player field. With Adobe's the only real solution at the moment, it's the Windows giant-target problem all over again. Endless exploits all aimed at the one thing that everyone will be running.

(I have tried SWFdec and Gnash but they both failed to make sense of the obscenely complex sites that prevail these days.)

If you need (or just enjoy) the "dynamic" content, make sure you're using something like the Firefox add-ons NoScript and "Request Policy" which make it much less likely you'll be stung by drive-by attacks.
