It disables all flash activity on a webpage and replaces it with a clickable button labeled "flash." If you want to see it, click the button. I prefer this to the "opt-out" approach used with Backflash, which allows everything to occur but you have to constantly monitor for a gray dot to turn red. I can see advantages to Backflash, if you want to see all flash content, and not just what you already know you want to click on. I'm willing to trade off that convenience for not having to be constantly distracted by flash-based ads, though. ClickToFlash accomplishes the same thing using an “opt-in” approach to flash content.
