#Clicktoflash safari 10 drivers

After getting Windows installed, I was bemused by the fact that there were no drivers installed for my hardware, which meant that Windows was running in 640x480 resolution. And I was surprised by Bootcamp - Apple has put a ton of effort into making the whole thing easy to get going. So, the other day I did the final thing that I could think of, I installed Windows XP on my iMac, via Bootcamp:Īnd I am pleased to report, that watching Hulu in fullscreen under Windows rocks - zero dropped frames, it works as it is supposed to. Fullscreen Flash is simply slower under Snow Leopard. I have tried running Safari in 32-bit mode, alternate browsers ( Firefox), Hulu desktop, viewing Flash content in Windows XP running under VMWare Fusion, etc. So, I've been trying everything that I can think of to fix this. While some people might not even notice the dropped frames, it drives me up the wall. But when I try to watch Flash video full screen, it drops frames like crazy. Flash mostly works as well as it ever did when I view the video within my browser. Unfortunately, when I upgraded my Late 2006 iMac to Snow Leopard, Flash performance took another step backwards. If I want to watch Hulu today (and as part of my anti-Cable strategy, I do), then I have to deal with Flash. And while I have high hopes that the HTML5 Video tag will eventually wipe this use of Flash from the Internet, that dream is still a ways off. However, there are times when I actually want to use Flash - mainly when I want to watch Internet video. I have long had Flash disabled in NetNewsWire (where I do at least 50% of my browsing), and with the advent of ClickToFlash, I have banned Flash from Safari as well.

It consumes vast amounts of CPU, causing my machine to become warm and/or loud due to fan noise. For as long as I have been on the Macintosh, Adobe's Flash has annoyed me.
