Another day, another Flash crash.

Has anyone else noticed that Flash has been sort of unstable lately?

At first I thought it was Firefox, but I've seen the same issues on IE. The trouble starts when you can't go full screen with youtube videos as it just shows a black screen while playing audio from the clip. Later it will crash. Sometimes refreshing the page fixes the issue.

I think it's all part of Apple's plan to destroy Adobe.

Flash is a disaster. I removed it from FF a while ago.

It does well in Chrome though, for whatever reason.

My Ipad is largely crash free, probably because it can't use Flash.

I've noticed Netflix is having problems on the iPad. The older the iPad, the more problems it has...

My Firefox plug-in container has been choking on flash apps for almost a year now. Rarely will you hear me defend Apple, even partially, but I'm thinking at least a bit of the reason they pulled their support for it is because it sucks.

That's a welcome move. Flash ads crash browsers.

Goddamn, I don't know what it is with Flash/Shockwave but the fucking thing has been crashing Chrome and FF for a week now. Motherfuck Adobe and all their products.

Flash goes the way of the dodo in 2020.
