Flash may run poorly on mobile devices, but doesn't the equivalent HTML 5 run worse? It runs worse on all other platforms.

- watty 15y agoIt's clearly not about which one runs better, has the better development tools, or best support across browsers and operating systems. It's about Flash being (semi)closed, requiring a plugin, and being owned by Adobe.
- tensor 15y agoI agree, but sadly the prevailing notion held by the majority of developers and the public seems to be that HTML5/JS is somehow significantly better than Flash in terms of technology. In this sense, Apple's deceptive marketing strategy has been a success.
- Argorak 15y agoIs it deceptive? I remember iterating through minor versions of Flash just to get Adobe Connect (a product of the very same company, just to emphase) to run without crashing on OS X. Yes, Flash on OS X is horrible mess, even more on Linux. I vastly improved my browsing experience on OS X by actually following Grubers advice and only have one Browser with Flash enabled (Chrome). And even there, it is the single point of crashes(tm). So this notion is not very surprising.
