The same day I switched to an only free distro (like Trisquel and Parabola), I stopped using Adobe Flash at all without knowing how difficult a change like that could be but I learn something very fun (for me at least xD):

Good Stuff:
1 - I can still see every youtube video without exception
2 - Some websites with old flash movies that don't work with adobe flash anymore (like some Portuguese old websites), still work perfectly with gnash. 3 - This made me think about helping the gnash project instead of just switching to adobe every time something didn't work as I wished. 4 - I can make a lot of people hungry when they try to show me something and it doesn't work xD (like the kickstarter videos for example)

Bad Stuff:
1 - Full screen is a really bad idea xD It lags... and lags... and lags...
2 - I can't go up from 480p, if I go to 720p or 1080p video don't load at all

Beside of that, I found using only free software better in general performance on the long term that using proprietary software, and nobody with all the examples that he/she wanted would change this idea. When I was using, Firefox (or Chrome), nVidia blob, adobe flash player, and working with gimp, after 3 or 4 hours, my Gnome-Shell was running slow and my swap was being used (over my 4GB of Ram), doing the same stuff, but with trisquel (or even parabola), don't use my swap at all and don't make my Gnome-Shell lag :D And this is fantastic :D
