Flash must die
Rich media plugins for the web need to be banished. Flash needs to go.
02 October 2009
Not just Flash but SilverLight and MoonLight and anything else that plugs into my browser for the purposes of delivering a “rich” experience.
For one, they almost always break my navigation buttons. Fire up YouTube to see the latest video of a cat playing the piano and the back button now doesn’t work because the Flash player has stolen my mouse focus. There’s also no way to stop a background load happening since the controls are decoupled from the browser.
