Is Adobe Flash beginning to cast off?

[Deleted User]

The only thing Flash is good for is for torturing yourself with those shitty Flash game sites.

FarmVille 2 isn't even that bad when you look at what other 'games' are on Facebook.

Fb is to gaming like a toliet is to food

Some also use HTML5 which is nice

I never realized HTML5 was being used a lot, I thought it was still flash dominated. Just today I got Youtube to default to HTML5, and thought flash handled those webm videos and such. I have IDM, so I can catch almost every kind of stream.

Heck, there's probably even web-based games that use HTML5.

Although Interactive Buddy is the shit, we need him in HTML5 so Java can die off peacefully without losing him.

Isn't HTML 5 a thing that works with Java?
Least thats what I heard from a few game devs.
Though I thought there was a non Java HTML5 thing out there, eh, I'm really not doing my homework lately.

Flash is only useful for some porn games

Why is it funnier to read your post and look at your profile pic than read your post and look at the emoji icon.

It works with JavaScript

I don't think I'm able to disable Flash on Google Chrome, either that or I don't know how to.

Spoiler

I get this everywhere I go and 'Run this time' does nothing. It's apparently updating, though.

Use firefox instead of chrome to fix your problem.

Firefox works horrendously on my computer.

Just click Disable under Adobe Flash Player (in chrome://plugins)

I love Firefox too but it doesn't work very well with YouTube without Flash.

Flash has been "meh" to me. YouTube and some streaming sites I still use it on. Perhaps flash would be less of a thing for me if I wasn't using Firefox.

I've been wanting to switch from FireFox and try out Chrome for awhile. But until Chrome lets me setup something like this, I won't use it:



I rather like having pinned thumbnails of my most used sites as a new tab/home page (yes FireFox lets me make that my homepage). Chrome sorta has this, but it won't let me pin them and they only display page/tab history. I can't really customize them.

That and I don't know if NoScript or Greasemonkey have add-ons for Chrome. If they don't, then I won't be switching anytime soon.

There are alternatives to your extensions:
NoScript: ScriptSafe or ScriptBlock
Greasemonkey: TamperMonkey (compatible with Greasemonkey scripts)

Personally, I won't switch until I find a good alternative to YouTube Video and Audio Downloader.

I use Google chrome and haven't used flash for a long long time. Honestly I hated flash and I am so glad even Firefox is getting it's shit together by booting it.

Flash and java should go the way of the dodo bird.

Not the dodo birds
They are cute

Shoot, looks like I need flash for Nico Nico.

Well if HTML5 is set to render flash's video playback and animation abilities pointless then I was linked to the thing that will probably kill 95% of the rest of use cases, and of web based java while it is at it.



Something in webdev I found interesting... this is almost as bad as the time there was something in databases I found interesting.
... aspiring web devs, first of all you have my condolences for being about 10 years too late to the party, but if you must then I would suggest learning something like what the video above teaches. Get in ahead of the curve and you might still have a chance.
