    So, aside from somehow stroking your ego, how was this post useful?
    You've pointed out something that most people already know, including the devs.

    Concentrate on your education.

    Nothing here uses flash though so I guess I really don't see what the issue is.

    I had no idea that @chronoss2012 had direct knowledge of the Dev's timelines of expected fixes, updates, and additions over the next year. They could save themselves some serious money on project management software and just give him a ring to find out what they are doing next. :|

    They've been saying this for years!! It's not something new you know!! But here's the thing......until every major site stops using Flash, all the Browsers will still use Flash for many years to come!

    > DO THE DEVS REALIZE T YET?

    Yes. Next question?

    Just so you know, both Facebook and Youtube are ceasing usage of Flash. HTML5 is replacing both, as it supports embedded avi, mkv, and h.264.

    All Video sites are no longer using flash for displaying videos, instead switching to HTML5. Don't worry, your videos will work fine without Flash.

    Two pretty practical ways to stay up to date on Google dev fixes are to read the Google Patents in the patent office site, and to just Google stuff. The devs at that company are very open and love to talk to with their users quite frequently. The issues with Flash and Chrome are well known and have been for years.

    I don't get what the complaint is, as said above this site doesn't use Flash at all. I have Flash totally disabled in my browser (Firefox) and it had absolutely zero impact on anything related to this site.

    What a dumb statement. Plenty of people use Chrome, it's a perfectly viable option. I personally use Firefox, but consider Chrome a close second.

    You have no idea what you're talking about.

    Where is this website using flash? The game certainly isn't either?

    Arc uses flash and installs a version of flash in the Arc directory (Arc\plugins\NPSWF32.dll)
    Has nothing to do with chrome or other regular web browsers. Literally nothing will change because even if chrome doesn't support flash anymore, Arc will, and Arc will use it ( until the devs decide to change it)
  • anazondaanazonda Member Posts: 8,399 Arc User
    Just because chrome stops the support (specifically their own build-in plugin) of flash, does not mean that Adobe can't make their own Chrome extension.

    Aside from that, flash can still be an extremely powerful tool for certain tasks (Granted it is slowly losing its relevance with HTML5, CSS3 and SVG's), and developers of stand-alone programs (such as... oh say... Arc), can still incorporate it into their systems.

    Basicall OP, you pointed out something that most already know, but is irrelevant.

    I think all browsers should ban the use of Flash and Java.

    That way I can use my 14" IBM ThinkPad T40 from 2003 with a single core Pentium M CPU running at 1.4GHz to surf the web again.

    Thanks, I was wondering what OP was confused about since forums and the STO game client don't use it.

    Just to expand a little, Arc is using a browser widget, and that widget uses Flash. Since they control the version of the widget it doesn't matter when newer versions of the browser stop supporting Flash, that just means they must keep using an older version. They can keep using it for another 20 years if they want to.

    Just disable the flash plugin... how hard can it be?
