Debug --> How to simulate no flash player installed?

Question

Is there a way to simulate not having flash player installed, so I can see what users who visit a page without the plugin see my page?

Thanks!

Answer 1

IE - Disable the flash player plugin (Tools, Manage Add-ons)

Firefox - install the NoScript plugin

Chrome - install the FlashBlock extension

Other browsers, there's usually a way to temporarily disable any plugins you don't want.

Answer 2

I recommend downloading MS Virtual PC or VMWare Server (both free) and create a VM to test this functionality. Its the only way to be sure. Also gets you the flexibility to test a lot of browser versions.

Answer 3

Get Virtual PC and download the IE Test environments.
