Take a good look at the number of plugins you are already running. If you are using Chrome type in about:plugins in the URL. I think you might be surprised. I see many people have this hate towards Flash because it is a plug-in, but what about QuickTime, Silverlight, and Java? Plug-ins exist to extend the functionality of our browsers and let's face it, HTML does not do everything.

In most cases, those plugins are there because some other app put them there, not because they're actually used. The most notable exception is probably Silverlight for Netflix.
