If you want to talk about problems, let's talk about plugins themselves. They're horrible and should never have been created. Hell, even they were a response to horrible websites which browsers had to deal with. Anything short of proper browser development would of course necessitate having plugins for your browser.


>They're horrible and should never have been created.

Do you have a better way to add functionality to a closed source browser?


That's the problem right there. Do you really need something more than an html/php/js/css web browser?!


You're absolutely right. Who needs rich, interactive media? It's not like Flash powers some of the top sites on the entire freaking internet.

Before you say "HTML5", not there yet, and didn't exist in the period back when Flash became popular.

Please stop being so dogmatic, this is software development, not religion.


Oh yes! Thats why flash has 99% penetration, because nearly everyone needs it.
