Re: Google is banning Flash from its display ads
#102I suppose this means dropping it altogether (like from Chrome) can't be too far away. My only regret with that would be that we use flash as a way to allow one-button copy to the clipboard (using this http://zeroclipboard.org/ ). We had tried non-flash solutions, but none of them worked. This sounds like it might work https://clipboardjs.com/ , so I guess I'll be adding a backlog item to look at it.
"now"? It's literally supported in every major browser. For over a year. Likely two years but my memory fails me.
Jesus. If all of the flash whiners are as behind the times as you...

I use that feature a lot, surely they can't all be Flash based.
Flash used to be the only thing that worked, cross-browser. Chrome, I know for sure, changed their minds several times on whether they would allow it...security model thing, you could make it work only by tweaking some internal chrome setting. The sales pitch at https://clipboardjs.com/ makes it sound like perhaps things have changed enough that a reasonable cross-browser solution is possible now.
It's been possible for literally years, but thanks for spreading your out-dated FUD on HN.

re: dropping [flash] from Chrome - NOOOOO this is what Chrome is for! The only flash I have is the built in to chrome flash.
I'm not going to cry rivers over this, but yeah, the only reason I have Chrome installed is for sites insisting on running flash stuff.
If Chrome stops supporting Flash I honestly have no need for it.

Which ad blocker do you use on mobile?
> Which ad blocker do you use on mobile? Firefox with uBlock. Just plain old FF extensions. No root required. Firefox for Android is seriously underrated IMO.
Possibly because it was very poor when it first came out? That's certainly why I switched away.

I also do this. Firefox is my primary browser but I have Chrome installed solely to view flash-based video sites.
I think I'm missing something. Why not just install the Flash player from Adobe?

#109I've blocked Google ads for so long I didn't realize they had been allowing Flash ads.
I bought a new Windows laptop last year. Of course the first thing I did was open IE and search for "download chrome".
Stupidly, I clicked on the first link, which was a Google ad for Chrome bundled with some malware.
Spent the next few hours getting rid of said malware.
I've used adblock (ublock) for a long time, but there was always a little bit of guilt associated with it; that episode cleared the guilt, completely and for ever.
