Mobile killed Flash. It was a poorly implemented technology which was acceptable only during the era where electric power was unlimited, and people were in the habit of frequent reboots to update their OS anyway.
- rezmason 7y agoIt's worth noting that the Flash platform originated on mobile devices, and pivoted to a Netscape Plugin when the mobile market proved to be premature (early nineties). For those of you half-considering building a Flash player replacement, I suspect the majority of Flash content (especially pre-AS3) can run performantly on modern mobile browsers with a canvas Context2D shim. Maybe even on 2010-era mobile devices.
