Flashblock for Midori?

I've just set up an old Pentium II box as a little project and it's working out quite well. Midori much faster than firefox 3 and so I have set it up as the primary web browser. However due to the slow CPU it doesn't get along too well with pages using large amount of flash; in firefox I use the flashblock extention to remedy this problem. Is there anything like this available for midori (I am aware it is still under very heavy development)?

RedArcher, you do realise this thread is over 2 years old?

Other people might still find your information useful, but i doubt that the topic starter will see your post since his last login was about a year ago. In this case, adding any missing information to the Midori thread would have been more appropriate.

Yes, indeed, I do. I just found that page (via:StartPage Search) after searching for a specific page that I've looked-up for. and the first line of my original comment/post was something like: "This thread is from May 2008 and gets replied only now... shame", but who am I who will judge and write things in that, pretty, negative spirit

Well, you're right, again, and I firmly believe that we (Midori users the distro-over/world-over ) must to index ALL the at-the-moment supported User.JS scripts in a centralized and INDEXED place, in addition to the current threads/special-pages etc. because it is pretty hard to nag every User.JS owner/creator to tag her/his script's-page with the tag Midori < http://userscripts.org/tags/midori > or < http://userscripts.org/tags/epiphany >.

Thank you for your reply, litemotiv

In that case, you can consider creating a Wiki page for Midori in the same style as the Firefox one, and refer to that on the forums.

Re: Flashblock for Midori?

I didn't thought about doing that, and I'll be very delighted to participate in that kind of activity.
Unfortunately, I'll not be available to spend the time for it, as for now.

But, you can bet that I'll definitely start to contribute on this subject starting on middle November this year

Thank you, for you attention.
