alt Hacker NewsThe problem with flash is that it was a security, performance and usability nightmare for web browsers.
Yes the games and videos were cool, but 99% of the usage of Flash was awful ads and UI/UX elements.

For most of Flash's existence on the web, I had my computers configured to block flash. (The block was achieved by removing files IIRC).
I just used an click to load flash extension in firefox back then and everything was fine.
