Changes to how browsers deal with flash content

ecchi · 2015-07-12, 09:23 AM

I just bought something online, and spent some time comparing the price on several websites to get the cheapest deal. This took about four times as long as it needed to take because most of the sites insisted on downloading enormous flash presentations before opening the page. I was not interested in these, as I had already decided to buy the product, I just needed price - and from one lucky seller, order details. But I wasted ages at my computer waiting for this pointless flash crap to download, and I have a fairly fast connection. If I still had my old slow 3G connection I would have given up.

The sooner Flash dies, the happier I will be!
