Comment(by mikeperry):

 FYI: This should only be done for testing sandboxes and the like.

 Since we dropped BetterPrivacy, flash basically directly deanonymizes you
 to ad networks through shared flash cookies with your normal browser.
 Also, simply enabling it exposes your flash version and OS platform to
 Javascript for fingerprinting, even if you don't click the NoScript
 placeholders to play flash apps. Then of course there's proxy bypass from
 running flash itself.
