Not really...just the opposite. If I dont want to view Flash sites I can simply choose not to install it. Problem solved.Flash is an outdated technology whos time has come and gone. Doesn't anyone find it irksome that in the year 2012, you have to install a plugin to view content in your browser?
Which is fine. I am on board with the HTML5 revolution. But I dont see the need to forbid me to view Flash content that is still being used in the meantime. It strikes me as a little totalitarian.We accept Flash, because we are used to it. But it's time for a browser based standard (HTML5) to replace it.
BINGO. Exactly.As an IT person who supports ...
The people complaining about it are either on the PROVIDER side, or are on platforms where they cant get Flash anyway. As an end user, I dont care how much it pisses off providers that their pet standard is not being used. I just want to be able to see the content I want to see. I think the end user (consumers, not providers) should be the one to determine the standards, not a few providers sitting in their Ivory towers.
