Computer Active - issue 458 - ran a feature 'Software You Must Uninstall' which included the advice 'Ditch Flash for good......
"Adobe Flash Player, to give this infernal browser plug-in it's full name, has to be patched so often we're amazed it still exists."
Albeit the FP section did end with ..'Or keep Flash - but make it safe' etc etc. However, the initial section to dump was enough to convince me to follow the advice so I did. Especially when being informed You Tube has dropped it for the safer (and less memory hungry) HTML5 in January and Amazon has banned Flash Adverts. Firefox has blocked Flash altogether since July.
Checking it out with YouTube, fine no Flash required, no problems. Then, being a follower of the thread 'Let's Rock', here in Open Forum, I'm now faced with 'a plug in is required to display this content' and can't play the YouTube file unless the full url is posted.
I'm puzzled by this, two magazines published by the same company, one says 'Dump Flash' but the minute I follow the advice the other won't let me view a YouTube link.
Will WebUser be following YouTube's decision and the advice of CA to dump Flash or is this only one expert's opinion?
Perhaps any posting to the thread could be accompanied by the full url just in case more than me has dumped Flash.
Just a thought.
