Whatever, this part doesn't really matter. Just something that works within the browser and is completely isolated from any websites except for well-defined, narrow, simple and secure communication channels. However it's implemented - as a plugin or as a module within the browser's codebase or somehow else - this part is mostly irrelevant.
And IIRC, Flash is still a browser plugin. It's just that it's more commonly shipped with browsers. Or maybe I had missed something.
- toyg 12y agoYeah sorry, I meant that Flash, like Java plugins, is basically dying.
- drdaeman 12y agoIt is, but I believe it's not because of its plugin nature, but for another reasons. It's just that Flash had served its role but got replaced with better solutions and is mostly unnecessary anymore. I think I'd be very pleased, if, in a same manner as it happened with Flash, Enigmail would become obsolete and GPG support would be provided by Thunderbird itself.
