Flash Website Storage Settings panel - ideas?

Flash Settings Manager panels - ideas?

Does anyone have at least some remote clue how to manage this crap to be at least semi-secure and not kill flash altogether at the same time? (No, uninstall does not count as solution )

I TOTALLY ignore the Website Storage Settings panel etc as i have installed BetterPrivacy in FF https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/betterprivacy

I have it set to delete Everything

You could also use FlashCookieRemover.exe http://www.misec.net/flash-cookie-remover just to be sure. It never finds Anything on my comp

I don't have any issues watching Flash with the above

 

OK, lets try again: No addons, please. Unusable for IE, the one you listed is unusable for Chrome etc.

 

my view from afar
periodically review and delete some or all sited that accumulated there. disable p2p link

 

FlashCookieRemover is NOT an addon, and it's a No install app as well So you can use it, but only if you want to

 

OMG, the thing is simply insane... there are in fact 8 settings panels.

Found some help file there as well: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html

Ugh.

 

Flash 10.3 beta has a Native Control Panel for settings, if that might be any help? Sorry if no help.

Hi doktornotor,

Although not (completely) the answer to your question, you might have a look at Adobe Flash - ESET Threat Blog "The Spy in Your Computer"

It gives another way of doing what you like, if you want.

 

Anything that will get me rid of the idiotic webpage where clicking on the same links produces random results and I get basically lost all the time is very helpful, thanks.

Edit: Oh wow, it is actually usable, fast and it even works. (It is even localized.)

Will have a look as well. Thanks too.

Edit: Wow, that is a loooong reading @ Eset, will take a few days.

 

So, the resume:

1/ The local control panel gives even less control than the web-based one.
2/ Reading Adobe Flash Player admin manual and manually editing mms.cfg is the only reasonable way how to restrict Flash.
3/ Shame on you, Adobe. You suck, big time!

So, unless someone volunteers to write a third-party tool for the task, consider this thread pretty much closed. I can only hope HTML5 wipes the flash crap out of the surface of this planet.

 

@doktornotor
Whenever I open the settings site, its clean, no websites show
up in it. I use SBIE like you do and believe that using SBIE keeps
flash cookies away.

Well yes, this wasn't needed for me personally. I maintain quite a bunch of computers for others, they are not using Sandboxie or anything like that.

 

Just trying to help you, big guy, I learned a lot about SBIE
from you, alright.
