You could run the browser from a script, and at the end of the script,
when the browser quits, have it purge all of the flash buildup. Then
you can have flash while browsing and not store anything other
companies can track. You could also run NoScript and FlashBlock and
only allow those places you want allowed to begin with.
I do the latter. But I'm considering the former. I usually run the
browser from a script anyway. Then I can adjust which installed Firefox
is used when I choose to have multiple versions and/or one I install
manually that's not in the default location.
