Anytime there was a post about firefox mobile on /r/reddit, folk came out of the woodwork saying they would never even consider using it until it supported flash. (Which, interestingly, it now does.)
I have no fucking idea what people find attractive about mobile flash (maybe games?) but it certainly seems to be a thing.

- Karunamon 15y agoA massive percentage of the internet's video consumption (YouTube and related sites) is already served by HTML5.
- Jimmie 15y agoYou are wrong. Html5 for Youtube is still an opt-in trial, unless you are on a platform without flash. As for related sites, while most I frequent seem to keep their files in .mp4 format rather than .flv the players are all flash based. Probably because it's easier to serve ads.
- justincormack 15y agoYes but mobile is a platform without flash, and is a large amount of youtube views. Not sure if you can opt in to flash youtube on Android.
- pcwalton 15y agoRestaurant sites. For Mobile Firefox our main test case for Flash is dairyqueen.com.
- starwed 15y agoHeh, that's a good point. Though most restaurant sites are so useless even on a computer that I don't bother visiting them -- I just check the hours/# on one of the review sites like Yelp. In recent times most local places I care about have put up Facebook pages with easy to find info.
