Mudbrick Flashplayer?
That thing should be nuked from orbit. It is beyond redemption/salvation/...
Its life support is scheduled for termination next year. Most commercial sites have switched to HTML5. I can't think of any major site, including the Beeb (using the Paris disaster as proof :-( ), which still requires Flash.
However, unless a site contains Flash, it shouldn't rear its head.
mdworker is the indexer (or part thereof) of the Spotlight search facility. It will come back as long as the system thinks there is something left to index.

Thank you ..Thank you.
I cannot imagine how a one can carry about so much [Useful!] matters in the jelloware.. mdworker is ... free of all criminal intent.
As to Mudbrick; I had thought that its perpetual mediocrity was due to be rendered obsolescent obsolete by 'something'; ah Yess: HTML5 (whose adoption surely must be in full ascension by now). So I shall proceed towards delivering the message to the Mud people: "Thanks for all the fish; I've gone back to WordStar in CP/M." (now where's that daisy-wheel printer gone?)
You sir, are: that jeweled-left-eye in some Heathen idol. :-)

~30 years of trying to stay ahead of this crap. But Google helps. A lot ;-)

I uninstalled it years ago.
It comes with a price, e.g. no BBC videos, but I've been resolute.

Well, after a second or so I get "This content doesn't seem to be working."
"Try again?" which is a loop with no joy.

Not on a Mac running Firefox the way I have it set up with NoScript..
It turns out to be that NoScript is the culprit that's killing the video. The video is fine if I temporarily allow all non-BBC scripts.
Problem solved! :)

There's one free online game I like to play that use it
I only allow it on that one site. Haven't noticed the lack anywhere else.
