Hi Bruno, as user I agree with you, I consider flash contents very annoying.
IceCat depends from Gnash for a simple reason, many websites check, using javascript, if the flash plugin is installed on the browser. In case it is not present, the user is redirected (or a link is added) to the Macromedia Flash website. We don't want this to happen and the most direct way to this problem seems to have a free Flash alternative installed. Other ideas, that don't include keep a black list of websites or in general do censorship, are welcome.
