And browser extensions are better? I find so many people install browser extensions, not caring about the permissions, or even know if they're doing it, lol... way way more than they should. At least a company like Adobe that is well known, and would somewhat care about privacy/being hacked/etc, would be in the public eye.

The real argument Steve Jobs should've forced was make it work for mobile.

But that wasn't what he wanted - Flash was "free content/games", so he attacked it on one front, but won two. Sadly, Adobe didn't quite listen to the public, and he was charismatic and forceful, and won.

Since Flash has been banished, so many artists and developers have wanted something that fit that middle ground as much as Flash did. Me too :D
