6Foot2 Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Link: Occupy Flash - The movement to rid the world of the Flash Player plugin ...Flash Player is dead. Its time has passed. It's buggy. It crashes a lot. It requires constant security updates. It doesn't work on most mobile devices. It's a fossil, left over from the era of closed standards and unilateral corporate control of web technology. Websites that rely on Flash present a completely inconsistent (and often unusable) experience for fast-growing percentage of the users who don't use a desktop browser. It introduces some scary security and privacy issues by way of Flash cookies. Flash makes the web less accessible. At this point, it's holding back the web. Our goal: To get the world to uninstall the Flash Player plugin from their desktop browsers...
rich_tech Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 That is a quality movement and I think many of us here would shed tears of joy if that was killed off, given it updates every 10 minutes. That being said, so many things use it still like our SecureAssess software off the top of my head, that a quick out of its misery job would be a nightmare
