Nobody is complaining, people that go there want to be entertained.I'm not looking for your approval or anyones, and I agree with most objections people have about Flash.I will install this Flash blocker, I hate Flash banners even though I occasionally make them myself. It can give a great interactive experience for the people that choose to go to the site. I make digital flyers with it for large dance parties for instance, Flash is the perfect tool for the job. Hi.I think Flash is very good for some things. Originally posted by Dlux:Where are all the Flash supporters who will moan that Flash is an absolutely essential component to the modern Internet and we have no appreciation for their genius and are ruining their livelihood?

I canÂ’t remember the last time a piece of software made me this happy. And it’s a legitimate browser plugin that goes in ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/, not a dirty input manager hack. Works in both Safari and WebKit nightly builds, and, in my testing, significantly decreases the amount of CPU used when you have a slew of open windows and tabs. Instead, each Flash element appears as a simple gradient to load it, you click it. BSD-licensed open source WebKit browser plugin that prevents Flash content from loading automatically. This in turn can invoke a concern around whether or not “i’m losing customers to flash install prompts” more than before (maybe and a very strong maybe, 1% decline as a result). As you can’t go 20mins online without being prompted to install Flash and given Windows 7 is fast replenishing the market, this in turn can cause concern for high-end websites that have a sudden surge in abandonment rates for Flash based experience. I’d argue Adobe’s actual ubiquity lies in web saturation and not client saturation. I think devices will also disrupt this further given battery concerns etc are a real PR hurdle for Adobe to overcome. I think whats explaining the drop is less OEM deals are being made and I think there may very well be a decline in mainstream Flash development itself (retreating back to HTML?). Given then if you look deeper at the methodology it also looks a bit off, for example the add double the weighting to USA compared to countries like China – given 380million or so citizens live in the US compared to ASIA having close to that in one country seems a little off in terms of the math. Take into account there is 1.4billion people on the planet online today and according to Forester research it will take 7 years from 2008 to 2015 to grow to 2billion, i don’t know the numbers just seem quite off to hold that 95%+ ubiquity stance. ![]() Now, assuming Adobe methodology is still being validated by them, that’s approx 8-18million installs per day. The install number wasn’t ever intended to be a marketing point, although it was an exciting number for us to talk about when we realized that our install average was 8 million a day shortly after Flash Player 9 first launched. ![]() It is closed-source, so it cannot be inspected. SafariStand is an InputManager () being converted into a plug-in, for 64-bit apps on Snow Leopard. It seems to be totally stable I have not had or seen a single Safari crash that involved it. It is open-source, so you can check out its code. The user might say “no thanks” to the security warning dialog, and refreshing the page or visiting another page that requires a newer version may download the installer again. ClickToFlash is a true plug-in, that runs only in Safari. That seems like a big drop, but consider that ActiveX was about 80% of our installs that month and when you visit a page that triggers the ActiveX install experience the installer is downloaded to the machine before the security warning dialog appears. ![]() In July 2008, successful downloads averaged about 33 million per day, and successful installs averaged around 18 million per day. We’ve never said how many downloads happen a day because it is a ridiculously large number AND we know that it’s not that useful metric because those successful downloads don’t all turn into successful installations. ![]() ’s interesting to note that for Adobe, the number that is quoted is an “install” and not a “download” number.
