ClickToFlash 1.6.2.1 Description
Safari extension that enables you to replace every Flash element in the webpage that you are currently browsing ClickToFlash replaces every Flash element by a placeholder element before the browser starts fetching the Flash content. The good news is that users can load the Flash content manually by clicking on this placeholder. Right-clicking on the placeholder reveals the usual contextual menu with two added items: 'Load Flash', which is equivalent to clicking directly on the placeholder, and 'Remove Element', which effectively removes the HTML element from the webpage. The latter is useful for getting rid of Flash ads that block access to page content. Right-clicking outside of any placeholder reveals the contextual menu item 'Load All Flash' that loads all Flash content on the active page.ClickToFlash is able to replace certain Flash elements by HTML5 tags. The label of the placeholder is then changed accordingly, and an 'HD' prefix is added to indicate that the video has resolution 720p or 1080p (fig. 2). Clicking on such a placeholder loads Safari's video player. In Snow Leopard this video player features a fullscreen button and uses hardware acceleration on supported Macs.The original Flash element can still be loaded by right-clicking on the placeholder and choosing 'Load Flash', or by right-clicking the video and choosing 'Reload in Flash'.By default, ClickToFlash only replaces a Flash element by a tag if the video source can be played in the Mac version of Safari 5 without any plugin. This applies to the following Flash elements: · YouTube videos. Both on-site and embedded videos. All YouTube videos have H.264-encoded MP4-contained sources. Resolutions in this format are Medium (< 360p, always available), 720p, 1080p, and 4K. · Vimeo videos. Both on-site and embedded videos. All Vimeo videos have H.264-encoded sources, and most of them are in MP4 containers. A few are FLV files that Safari cannot play natively. Maximal resolution is 720p. · Dailymotion videos. Both on-site and embedded videos. All Dailymotion videos available in 'high quality' have H.264-encoded MP4-contained sources. Maximal resolution is 720p.If the use of the QuickTime plugin has been permitted in the extension's settings and the Perian component is installed, ClickToFlash will use YouTube's 360p or 480p FLV videos instead of the Medium MP4 video and will also offer a video player for the remaining Vimeo and Dailymotion videos.Note: Playback of FLV videos in Safari with Perian uses much more CPU than native playback. Moreover, if autoplay is enabled, Safari usually starts playing the video too early for smooth playback. For these reasons the feature is disabled by default.
