monr0e12527yA surprisingly large amount of people. Flash player is still very much an integral part of the web, not matter what arbitrary decision Google makes.

ddephor45117yI removed flashplayer a few years ago and never regretted it. I stumble across sites that need it about 2 times a year, but whatever they need it for, then I don't need this site.

monr0e12527y@ddephor I still reminisce often with old flash games that I grew up with. They consume less time than platform games, and only a small minority of them have been, or likely ever will be, ported to HTML5.

monr0e12527y@ddephor furthermore, HTML5 still isn't a perfect replacement for Flash, and there's quite a significant amount of functionality that cannot be replicated. There's a surprisingly large number of web applications that rely on flash to function, some of them are quite crucial to my work.

ddephor45117y@monr0e The last times I remember were either videos, which nobody uses flash for today, or some kind of online catalog, like product catalog from manufatcurers or menus from restaurants, which could be made without flash or at least provided as PDF.
I don't play games on my computer, so I don't care about complex stuff within the browser.
