Flash is definitively the perfect scapegoat
whatever your problem: slow machine, battery, security, etc. it's all its fault
seriously, if everyone have already moved to HTML5, how come we are still blaming Flash for those daily petty problems ?
It's not used so let's block it but it is still responsible for the majority of problems ...
nobody notice the ambiguity of the argument ?
It's quite painful to see such arguments from Google, I thought they would be smart enough to understand that any popular technology get hacked, the problem is not really Flash, its the browser itself (and the advertising networks that are perfect to distribute dodgy payloads to tons of users).
The other sad point is the amalgam of everything, for some ppl Flash equals advertising, and that's bad so Flash is bad, and they don't want to think further than that.
The choice of the users ? The tons of SWF content (that will probably not be ported to HTML5) ? nobody care apparently
And about throwing everything in the same bag, so apparently if Flash is dead then ActionScript is dead too right ?
nope
Flash is just 1 runtime running in the browser, there are other runtimes: Adobe AIR for desktop and mobile, and also Redtamarin [1] for the command-line / server-side.
