#2Very enjoyable read. It was especially interesting seeing the obfuscation techniques the devs had created to prevent cheating using WebAssembly.

I put most of the blame on Adobe, they handled Flash and the related technologies as Flex/AIR badly. I think if they wuld have start from scrtch with an open source implementation of the player it would have had a better success, at tat time the only alternative was Java applets or Silverlight.
I liked the idea you had Flash off by default and you enable it only for the page or section of page you liked, I am running now Vivaldi with Javascript off by default because we have a even more garbage experience now with JS, like on BBC news with JS off the links are broken (wtf the web developers can't even create a working link without JS)

I'm surprised someone hasn't made a flash-equivalent framework/environment for html5 or webassembly yet.

With the programming language Haxe and the library OpenFL you can actually create "flash" games for HTML5 using the old school flash API and everything.

What makes you think it isn't a requirement coming from their superiors?
There are many reasons your link may not work. Why do you assume incompetence?

So you are saying that their superiors are incompetent. Or the superior’s superiors are incompetent. And that seems true enough?

Never attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by stupidity

Because the link opens a different news, you click on article A but it opens article B,also the pages work without JS(except the videos or fancy image galleries) only the navigation seems to be broken . A competent developer will show you a blank page and explain that you need to enable Java Script(it could be also not testing the webpage with JS off combined with using JS to layout stuff).
The problem is not JS the language but how it is abused and similar to Flash you get people installing plugins or turning it off in settings and white-listing JS on necessary pages, in my case I will not read the article most of the time or use a private window.
