I’m following the lead of Krebs on Security (http://krebsonsecurity.com/2015/06/a-month-without-adobe-flash-player/) and cutting ties with Flash.  The past several years I’ve been using add-on tools such as no-script (https://noscript.net/) or Flashblock (https://addons.mozilla.org/En-us/firefox/addon/flashblock/).  Both made life secure but a little more difficult.  I find that, like Brian Krebs, I hardly interface with websites where Flash is used.  If I do and I must view the content I can simply spin up a VM from ISO on VirtualBox.

I'm a command line junkie so I have to admit I merely skimmed this article. But there is a market for the faint of heart whom are not eager to build our their ruleset on the CLI. And this is a nice comparison. http://mobile.serverwatch.com/server-tutorials/little-known-gui-firewall-options-for-linux.html
