Thought I would make a thread about this.

One good tip is that if you find Adobe products annoying (I couldn't stand the constant updating) you can use a different PDF reader and also force youtube to use HTML 5.

I've deleted all adobe products off my computer.

For PDF you can use Foxit PDF reader, here http://www.foxitsoftware.com/Secure_PDF_Reader/

To force youtube to use HTML you can either goto this link https://www.youtube.com/html5?gl=GB

or you can download Magic Actions for youtube (for Chrome)

Or even better, Youtube center for For firefox
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-center/

These youtube addons can force HTML5 but also have the benefit of getting rid of youtube adds.

You won't be able to use Flash on other sides if you delete all adobe products but really companies should be switching to html 5 anyways.
