FlareFighter is a small application that was designed to disable the Flash plug-in when you are not using it. This way, with the help of this tool, you can easily increase the speed of your computer and save the battery of your Mac with just a click of a mouse.

Using FlareFighter is extremely easy. After launching this application it will be placed on your Menu Bar, from where you can easily access it and select the pause mode (immediately, after 30 or 60 seconds) and choose to load at Startup or run only on battery. You can even disable this tool with one click.

FlareFighter can come in handy in various situations. For example, when minimizing a website that uses Flash banners or after watching a Flash video, Safari will still use a part of your CPU, making your system run slower. This application will instantly pause the Flash plug-in, freeing your CPU for your work in an instant.

In conclusion, the utility is an easy-to-use Mac application that can automatically pause Flash plug-in when it is not needed.
