Flash still works on my HTC Incredible cell phone. Yeah, I have to keep it on a block of ice so the SoC doesn't come off the PCB. Small price for such a great technology.
This is basically what I do. There's a couple random sites I need to login for kids registration of some sort and incredibly, somehow the login process and everything is all flash based. Terrible.
Most of the TV catchup services in the UK still use flash, in fact Virgin's one still uses Silverlight. So hopefully this will force them all to fully switch to HTML5.
For the time being. Both Firefox and Chrome will remove Flash support for good by the end of this year.
Indeed, I remember it as being a lot of “how dare you!”, and arguing that the whole world wanted Flash and Apple was bad and wrong for not doing their part, along with vague threats of what Adobe could maybe do to force Apple to comply.Ironic how Adobe's initial reaction to Thoughts on Flash was "shock, denial, and anger."
Why update the site when you can rake in cash as long as possible for the same old content?And yet there are STILL an alarming number of sites out there written in Flash, including internal training sites hosted by my employer... We're a huge company too with 250,000+ employees
Like come on guys, you've had a decade now. No excuses.
Worthless to YOU. But it's good to know you speak for the entire population, you saved us all needless effort.I don’t remember the last time I even used Flash. Thanks to the late Steve Jobs for eliminating the worthless crap ware.
That's funny. A backward, out of date company uses backward out of date software. Had a "cable box" fro Comcast at our condo - 1990's technology all the way. Streaming sucked, low quality, always on, always hot. Imagine a company with something like 6tb/sec into your home, can't make better services and more money than internet at teeny tiny fractions of the speed into your home.I think Comcast streaming still uses Flash. Anyway I get pop-ups about Flash when I stream.
Writing is on the wall dude. Your company is not keeping up, time to seek better options elsewhereAnd yet there are STILL an alarming number of sites out there written in Flash, including internal training sites hosted by my employer... We're a huge company too with 250,000+ employees

You aren't kidding. There's a ton of historical content that drove the internet to where it is today that will be lost if this occurs.*cries in NewGrounds.com*
Except there are games! Hate it when a good snark dies on the vine. Besides, Windows is for game players, silly rabbitTo all of you saying good riddance: did you never play Flash games? Many of them were (and still are) some very well made games. And they were all completely free, and made by normal people and not money-hungry gaming studios. It's not like there are many games on Macs but at least there was that. Now there's... a monthly subscription. And with 32 bit support gone, Steam is also pretty much dead for Mac users. So yeah, I guess we can safely say that gaming on Mac is now more dead than ever?
To all of you saying good riddance: did you never play Flash games? Many of them were (and still are) some very well made games. And they were all completely free, and made by normal people and not money-hungry gaming studios. I no longer play games but some of my best gaming memories as a kid are of Flash games. I'm sure that some scientist can show you how inefficient they were, but if they ran fine on my Pentium 3 machine 15 years ago with a file size of a few MB, then they weren't that inefficient.

I thought they already did, but good riddance.
Chrome, but only on one machine that is not super critical. And if the website requires Flash, I decide if I have live without it and I tell them to jog off. Otherwise, I send a polite nLTE about living in the early 2000’s and that might not be the wisest business plan moving forward.What do most Apple users use instead?
