I haven't had the Flash plugin since 2012 and only a few couple of times I've encountered something I wanted to use which required Flash since when I stopped having Flash. In every case where Flash was required I simply Googled the relevant keywords and found what I was looking for provided by other non-Flash sites.

Twitch is the only thing keeping Flash on my system, and as soon as they make the switch to HTML5 video I'll be uninstalling it completely.

If you use Livestreamer and an IRC client, you can run Twitch streams outside your browser. That's what I've been doing - I haven't had flash installed since that cross-platform RCE bug late last year.

Add &html5 to the Twitch URL to force it to give you HTML5 instead of Flash.

Twitch has run over HTML5 for the better part of a year (maybe longer).

The controls and chat were upgraded to HTML5 last year but the video will not be converted from Flash to HTML5 until Q2 this year.

This was one of the major announcements made during CEO's keynote at TwitchCon. http://blog.twitch.tv/2015/09/twitchcon-2015-keynote-product...

OS X and iOS streams use HLS (append /hls to url) and you can get the html5 video in various ways (append &html5 or [1]).

Livestreamer works well for Twitch.
