It’s long past time for Flash to have gone extinct.
I hate that bloated, POS, Resource Hog.
Anymore, I just don’t watch anything that is Flash.

Although its not Apple, whats a good media player for Android phones? I'd recommend VLC for Android.
It plays almost all video formats.

I don’t mind Flash. What I do mind is Flash seems to have a new security update just about every week. Upgrading it becomes a nuscience.

Flash sucks and sucks up resources. So I block it with flash block extension otherwise my computer would be unusable for the internet. I selectively allow flash for you tube and other videos. Sometimes I forget to turn it back off. So I go into task manager and stop the program. Without doing this Firefox becomes unstable...yeah I have lots of tabs open most of the time

You don’t need Flash to watch You Tube since they now
support HTML 5
I uninstalled Flash today since I got tired of the incessant security updates. So far, no big loss.
To: Swordmaker
“Magnam gratiam” - Great thanks. Uninstalled. I wonder what web sites will be asking for Flash in the future? Flash helped Youtube in its early days in 2005.

I use it for work. That's too bad. . . what do you need it for? And are you certain you still do? There's a lot of Flash content that's been replaced by HTML5 and other video formats lately . If so, keep up to date on all Adobe Flash updates as soon as they come out, but unfortunately, they run days, sometimes a week or so, later after exploits are in the wild for the vulnerabilities are discovered and there are LOTS of vulnerabilities in this Swiss Cheese of spaghetti coding called Adobe Flash.

That's why you should mind. . . it's a spaghetti code of a mess filled with vulnerabilities and it has been for years. Seven years ago Steve Jobs would not allow it to be on iPhones for that reasons and at that time it was the way that 50% of more of crashes hit Macs. That's bad. . . It hasn't gotten any better as Adobe hung more bells and whistles on it without rebuilding the mess underlying the whole train wreck.

Then how do you watch you tube and other videos? The majority of YouTubes have been converted over to HTML5 or Silverlight. . . only the oldest YouTube videos are still in Flash format. . . and they are being converted.
