I don't for the vast majority of my web browsing. Unfortunately, a few
sites I need for my business or frequent otherwise won't work properly
without it. So, I have little choice. For those I use Firefox with
flashplayer installed. For all others, I use Chrome with pepperflash
disabled.
The spite? Maybe, it's from having to repeatably, clean friends'
systems -- Windows -- where Flash videos have been used to infect them
with various and sundry malwares, over and over..
I never criticize flash users, only flash and Adobe for the security
issues. If you want to use it, go ahead.
