So I am mid way through my attempt to live without Adobe Flash. I described how and why I removed it and answered some questions that people had. But the real question is, how am I surviving without Flash?
Just fine thanks.
I’ve been using my MacBook Pro without an issue. My surfing activities haven’t been affected and I haven’t found a pressing need to reinstall it. In short, it’s been really uneventful. I can also confirm that my battery life on my MacBook Pro is 45 minutes longer since removing Flash. I can also confirm that my MacBook Pro uses less CPU power when I surf the Internet. These are all positive developments.
As for security, I can’t prove that I am more secure. But knowing that in the last few weeks that there have been multiple Flash updates for security issues that were actively being exploited, I am pretty sure that I am more secure by not having Flash.
I am really glad that I did this. I will continue with this experiment for another 14 days and barring any surprises, I will leave my computer this way.
