How about a few life imprisonment sentences? Or is hacker crime somehow more acceptable than the usual street terrorism?
 
Drop Flash

http://www.youtube.com/html5

And if YouTube says a video is not available in HTML5 using Safari, enable the "Develop" menu and change your user-agent to "Internet Explorer 10". Funny how a video can't play in Safari in HTML5 until you tell YouTube/Google that you're not using an Apple product. Then it just work for some reason. :rolleyes:

One more reason to distrust Google.

If any site can demonstrate that we no longer need Flash, it's this one.

Just kill it already. HTML5/JS is the future.

Or FlappyCoin.
 
So I take it everyone here who wants flash dead are willing to pay for developers to put forth the effort to move all of the things that need flash to html5 and JS?
 
I think Adobe are going to realise soon that Flash isn't worth their resources anymore. It's not applicable to phones/tablets, where the most web browsing is done now.

This very well could be the year they kill it. Their biggest user, YouTube, is all set for HTML5, and other major streaming sites either use HTML5 or Silverlight).

Most browsing is done on tablets and smartphones? Seriously? You really believe this? A slightly old statistic, August 2013, had mobile traffic as roughly 18%. I doubt it tripled within six months.
 
If you use a flash blocker on your web browser, is your system still prone to security vulnerabilities?
 
How do you get the stupid program to just install updates automatically instead of interrupting my work flow with some idiotic public service announcement from Adobe!?!? Grrr!!

True, I should've said I was speculating. Though I'd imagine it'll happen very soon.
 
Die, die, die

This is way beyond painful.

I uninstalled Flash a couple of years ago and haven't missed it that much. More sites are using HTML5 now, and Chrome is my solution for the others.

If Flash was to stop being updated, that would ruin it for Chrome too. Google works with adobe for their implantation of Flash.
 
{uninstall Flash} and have half the internet out of use? no thanks, i have my ipad for that

That is a gross exaggeration. Most sites that use Flash also have a non-Flash fall-back which works great. HTML5 works. Flash is about glitz and advertising for the most part. Research† shows that 99.97541% of what I use on the Internet does not require Flash. That remain 0.02459% is almost never necessary.

†I counter your exaggeration with ridiculously precise faux statistics. Faked but more accurate than your numbers.

I don't care even if it was 99.999999 repeating. If there is one thing I use that needs Flash, I will continue to use it.
 
I think the times for Adobe Flash are over, now only If websites like Youtube would adopt HTML5 fully, the trial version is terrible and unusable..

You proclaim the death of flash, then say YouTube's html5 player is bad.

I'm ready to pay the same amount we paid for them to make all of it in Flash.
 
Personally, I worry about any software platform that needs three periods in their version number:rolleyes:
