> I'm also glad Flash has finally been killed off. I actually think JavaScript video has been worse for users. Flash was easily blockable and worked fine for the majority of users. It was developers and Apple's need for control that killed off Flash.

  There is no 'HTML5 video'. There is an HTML5 tag that indicates a video object, which is delivered using the same codecs that Flash used. All that changed is that the UI moved into the browser.
