There are only a few websites that I'd visited that no longer work if you don't have Flash installed (few enough that I can count them using my fingers -- without having to resort to binary notation) -- most are so old that the formatting doesn't work correctly (e.g. elements are mispositioned) for web browsers newer than IE6.
>What can I say, I have absolutely no traces of it on my machines. I know that some program can be hard or impossible to uninstall once you have installed them, it doesn't surprise me if Adobe Flash is one of them. A quick Google search shows that there is an uninstaller available, but I neve tried it.

>Every second year or so I replace my C: drive with a brand new one, and install all the programs I need from scratch. I always surprises me how much faster the machine gets, and how many programs will NOT be installed on the new drive. The old drive is mounted in a small cabinet with an USB interface, so I can use it as a removable drive.

>>>Just uninstall it, I doubt you will ever notice. I have never had it installed on my machine. It's pretty "old" technology. For instance iPhones have never supported Flash.
