If flash was more performant and stable, I think people would be less opposed to its continued dominance.



FOSS advocates should thank some deity that Adobe is as marketdroid infested and incompetent as it is. There's nothing so good to shore up your case as your enemy making a hash of his.


Yea, thank Flash for rushing HTML 5 into our browsers, don't blame them. Not like there was a viable alternative before.


Doesn't excuse them for making Acrobat installs that are clearly marketdroid-devised bloatware. For heaven's sake, they once installed stuff with Acrobat that wasn't VBScript malware but might as well have been! (Yes, they had VBscript background processes bogging down Windows.)

Thanks in part to them HTML5 is seen as a blessing by many, even as late as it is.
