Many sites say black/brown flesh in avocado flesh is OK to eat.

Here I got one with not just black/brown color flush but also many black/brown CAVITIES. Is it OK to eat everything including the flesh around the cavities? I had eaten avocado with small "cracks" in the flush but this one is unusually big, so I am wondering.

Yeah, that stuff is not much eye pleasing, but it's edible. Really black, mushy spots must be discarted. Don't wait that long to consume your avocado. They are too expensive to waste.

It may technically be edible but ICK! Your poor but precious avocado sat way too long OP. Such a waste!

Yes, you can eat it. I typically scoop out the black parts like those "cavities" because the texture is a little different. Black/brown from bruising I usually eat because it doesn't have that slightly firmer skin to it.

Just toss it to compost if you have one.
Keeping an extra avocado in the fridge will extend its storage life.

Even if it is edible, it tastes nasty.

Exactly. The taste is no good, so why eat it? Scoop out and toss out.
