FlashFrozen

FlashFrozen is a handy little app that every Mac user can appreciate. We all love watching YouTube videos or playing games online, but those annoying Flash ads can really mess things up. They can slow down our processors, drain our batteries, and sometimes even make our MacBooks feel like they're cooking dinner! That's where FlashFrozen comes to the rescue.

Why Choose FlashFrozen?

This lightweight application gives you the ability to stop the Flash plug-in from running wild on your system. It helps reduce CPU load, cut down on power usage, and keeps your Mac cool. Plus, it works wonders for maximizing your battery life.

Easy Access Anytime

FlashFrozen sits right in your Mac's status bar. This means you can quickly open its menu to manually kill any troublesome Flash plug-ins whenever you need to. Super convenient!

AutoKill Feature

If you want a hands-off approach, just turn on the AutoKill mode. This lets FlashFrozen do all the work for you by automatically shutting down any running Flash processes.

Monitoring Your CPU Usage

Whether you're using Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, or Safari (64-bit), this app has got your back! It monitors the Flash plug-in's activity and alerts you if it starts hogging too much CPU power.

Status Notifications

If the CPU usage from Flash hits 30%, you'll see a change in the status bar icon color—it goes from black to red! This way, you're always in the loop about how much strain Flash is putting on your computer. If there's no activity from Flash at all? The icon turns grey.

Customizable Alerts

You can also set up custom warnings through the "Warn At" menu. Choose thresholds at 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, or even 50%. When things get too heavy for your Mac's resources, just pop open FlashFrozen's menu and stop that pesky plug-in!

The Result?

Your browser will replace any running Flash content with a broken plug-in message and bring your CPU usage back down to normal levels—easy peasy!
