[Solved] Seeking solution for annoying flash player prompt

[context]

For a variety of reasons, I've removed the Adobe Flash Player from my PC and would like to keep it off.

For 99% of my browsing, I would like to just view the placeholder picture ... and not have any video capability. What's happening now is that something—Adobe?—throws an annoying black dialog on top of the picture. I can use "inspect element" and "delete node" to get rid of the blemishing black box ... and then the picture is just fine.

Is there a practical way to intercept the black box (always) and just have the pictures display?

In the original AdBlock, I remember an option to Show Blockable Elements ... which would let me select and block such things. It was an excellent feature and I miss it.

Maybe the site display the image and it isn't coming from Adobe.

If you use the uBlock addon you can see which content is blocked.

Maybe the site displays the image

Indeed, further investigation revealed that to be true ... and it led me to a solution for the BBC site I was viewing. The answer involves HTML5, which is on the way in as the preferred technology. Here's a link to the config file change to make:

I added .bbc to the useragent name, which matches the form of existing entries. And it works for me.

Thanks for the nudge.
