Apple killed flash and an alternative has not emerged decades later. Please don't give these pricks ideas.

Are HTML5 video, canvas and WebGL not replacements? What in particular do you feel has not been replaced?
Does HTLM5 and WebGL allow all the same security holes and waste as much energy as Flash? Hmmm? Sounds like it’s not a replacement then.
Adobe Animate (née Flash) still exists and exports HTML5-ready MP4s now. Which, as an actual user of Macromedia Flash and dabbler in Newgrounds uploads, is a much better situation. Flash the plugin sucked shit and everyone knew it, including Tom Fulp.
