They didn't block Flash in their browsers. They just didn't implement the <object> element in the iOS browser. No support for plugins doesn't mean blocking them. Blocking is something proactive , You block ads , ignoring an html element isn't blocking that element. A browser that doesn't support SVG doesn't block SVG. Just be honest, what you say is completely wrong and there is no room for interpretation here when it comes to the definition of blocking.
- Flimm 10y agoYou're missing my point that they banned anyone from trying to implement Flash in the browser. It's OK to say "we don't want to spend time implementing Flash on iOS", it's another thing entirely to say "no one else is allowed even to try". They're blocking entrants in the Apple app store. If you want to be pedantic about the word "blocking", then swap it with banning instead if you like.
