Not a single mention of Flash! I've got a hunch Windows 10 may popularize it again... Still a more consistent runtime than all the stuff that "killed" it.

- jetskindo 11y agoFlash wasn't the problem entirely. If they fixed the security issues we would be better off. The reason we hated flash is because of how advertisers used it.
- byron_fast 11y agoFlash did solve the problem that the article complains about: consistency of experience and not having to develop your site / app to a pile of different runtimes. But that's not a bug, but a feature for those in the business of selling admission to walled gardens. Same as it ever was.
- dorgo 11y agoMy problem with flash is the same as with all plugins: scroll doesnt work, mouse-gesture dont work, shortcuts dont work, no control of content. Its like opening an enterly other program in browser without any integration.
