I've disabled Flash since the beginning of this year, an idea inspired by someone else [1]. So far it's been working out great and I was pleasantly surprised I've had very little need to turn it back on.

Some notable issues I've run into:

- play.spotify.com, I used to use the web player on my computer, it requires flash sadly. I've started using their OS X app.

- twitch.tv if I occasionally watch a stream, also needs flash. I tend to turn it on for the duration.

It's pretty great and I'm enjoying better battery life, more efficient use of cpu.
