I use Firefox with Flashblock and Noscript. To see the flash junk,
assuming I want to, I have to allow scripts, then click on the flash
video. Makes browsing most Flash infested sites much more pleasurable.

I've only found a few sites which use Flash for navigation which I
actually want to look at. Mostly if the site requires Flash, I just
contiue searching for one that doesn't.
