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.
