A group of HTML5 activists have started an #OccupyFlash campaign to get rid of Flash Player all together.
It’s well-known that Adobe Flash has been on its last leg for a while now, with the company practically begging you to remove the program back in December. At the time, Adobe announced that it was ended support for the program in January 2021.
If you've grown up on the internet, you are almost certainly familiar with Adobe Flash. Well, now, much like your childhood, its time is coming to an end.
There’s mining malware infecting legitimate updates for the Adobe Flash Player. According to Palo Alto Networks, the flaw was first discovered in early August.
Hmmm. There are a lot of issues with flash but it is still quite mainstream.
Until there is proper support everywhere for html5, this is stupid. Stupid like Apple cutting off Flash when there is still wayyyyyy too much flash content out there. Having any iDevice right now is having a device with blinders on to a majority of media on the web. This is like cutting off all physical media like BR and DVDs right now. It'll take time. These occupy people are clueless.
As for it being crashy? I have the Quicktime plugin crash a lot more than Flash for me.
This occupy junk is pure bullshit. Why the hell would you attack a free program?
These are probably those Apple lovers who follow like sheep without thinking, but now realize that there is still very little html5 support and are left out in the dark. I'm no flash lover, but everyone needs time to transfer over. Apple jumped the gun wayyy to early and are looking silly for it now.
