Is there advantage to NoScript blocking Flash in FF > 68?

As it is, the only option for Flash in FF > 68 is "click to play" (aka "Ask") [or Off, altogether].
Will NoScript actually do more, actually blocking content download, or whatever, compared to FF's Ask?

As it is now, you're apt to get a double prompt on a Flash object (1 NoScript, 1 FF), http://inforss.mozdev.org/index.html.

Last I checked, Firefox's click-to-play was per-site, not per-object.

NoScript doesn't block Flash per se, it blocks objects. Not sure if there is any easy and reliable way to detect if object is in fact Flash...

I don't see an "easy" advantage for NS to block flash

anyway, recent versions of Firefox alone can handle the flash blocking
