Hello. I've noticed that there is a lot of Flash usage on the site. It frequently crashes or locks up my browser (Google Chrome). I've disabled Flash now so it's not so much of a problem, but I thought I'd let you know.

Flash is notorious for zero day exploits and many people just uninstall it nowadays as it is too much of a security risk. Most (popular) websites don't use it any more e.g. YouTube and Facebook. Flash is slipping into obsolescence. I haven't had Flash installed for several years now and can't say I miss it.
