The fact for users is that there are sites which do use flash if Firefox is configured to support both flash and html5, so that people without flash configuration only get the html5 stream.
Most users will not have flash support anyway, so most will see only html5. Does the website actually control whether flash or html5 is used (when both are available) ?
My assumption is it is all on automatic. The site queries for support of flash and then provides the page with flash. Then firefox blocks it, asking for my permission.
And no matter how much developers and packagers hate flash, the fact is, it is still used out there, and there is very little users can do about it.
Nobody hates it, it is simply deprecated technology.
Says they. The sites that purchased the technology keep using it.
I don't understand the point of this discussion (I'd like to call it a rant, but don't want to upset you). Fine, the problem is websites that keep using it and in particular those that you must use for some reason. Fortunately for me, I'm in the majority of people that Per mentioned who experience no such websites and don't have Flash installed and who live live happily without it. So you've made your point that some people apparently do still use it and there's nothing they or we can do, so can we please stop blathering on about it now.
Telnet is also deprecated technology, get there is no talk of removing telnet support.
Well, I don't have a telnet daemon running on my machines and many of them don't have a telnet binary either. I do have some copies, since it can occasionally be useful. But basically the situation is completely different. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
