Amusing comment, but I don't really understand why Flash has this reputation of crashing. I don't remember seeing it crash my browser, at least in a very long time. Why is there a "flash is crap" meme? Is it because it's unstable on Linux?
- windsurfer 16y agoIt's actually really stable on linux 32 bit. I haven't seen it crash... and i develop for it sometimes.
- aidenn0 16y agoHave you tried playing SMB crossover with it? It crashes flash in less than 5 minutes of game play for me if I use the contra guy.
- stanleydrew 16y agoI think it's mostly because it eats resources like it's the only thing running on my system. My fan spins up every time i try to watch a youtube clip. Oh and it does crash occasionally, although much less frequently as time goes on.
- Andys 16y agoAmongst the half a dozen machines I regularly use, it crashes much more often than the browser. This includes a couple of Windows machines, where Flash is most at home!
- steveklabnik 16y agoIt has that reputation because it does crash. Also, Steve Jobs mentioned that it's the #1 cause of Mac crashes, and I saw someone link the Firefox crash reports that seemed to agree, too. Just because it works well fro you doesn't mean it does for everyone else.
- wendroid 16y ago"Flash is crap" because it's a cpu hog, browse the web with ads on an older PC and Flash dominates the machine.
