How? NoScript (which I use) stops random scripts from running. To watch flash videos (of any kind) one must allow the script to run. Once you've done this NoScript isn't providing any protection anymore.

On youtube one can adBlock & NoScript & CookieBlock everything yet still download video with http://www.flashvideodownloader.org/ . Some porn sites can be downloaded with http://jdownloader.org/ You will need the uncrippled: Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jce8... http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downlo…

Surely if your going down that route youtube-dl is easier?

For how much the majority of HN shits on Flash, yet insists that all other topics remain positive when critiquing a topic, where do you all see the best solution?

Make a startup that provides a tool for designers to translate placing this image and its associated animations at these positions visually on a timeline that a non-programmer can adjust as needed.

Oh wait, none of you have ever been bothered to do that since the beginning of time. The fault must lie with the ad indusfry and not you.

Haha

easier than youtube-dl :

adBlock & NoScript & CookieBlock are essential malware protection anyway, and just needs tweaks for youtube.

flashvideodownloader is just an firefox addon. then you can visit youtube without much tracking.

flashvideodownloader probably uses youtube-dl (without any CLI-typing).

P0rn sites, with jdownloader & Java & Unlimited Strength Cryptography is less easy

(edit: added : easier than youtube-dl)
