heynekko, 11 Oct 2015Good. Then all of these features(flash, java, silverlight) will be built-in instead of plug-in... moreNo... they won't exist anymore. Those technologies are reaching their end, giving way to HTML5.

Flash is a big security hole, a patch on a patch on a patch. If you do a search for - Hacking Team flash exploit - you'll see what the latest alert was about. Yet, Mozilla said that Flash will stay, of all things, because a lot of companies depend on it...

Why?? Plugins like Flash are wonderful. Everyone likes those annoying flash ads and ad networks like them as well. I can have a pleasant browsing experience by not installing flash at all. Now these guys are gonna cram their nuisance-ware into HTML5-JS technologies which we can't escape from.

Is FireFox really good? People in my office are dying to get rid of it from their computers ever since our office start updating every single computer into Windows 8.1. Firefox keep on launching automatically without asking as a default browser when clicking on links. We hate it. Not always though but sometime it is annoying as we favor Chrome browser better.

I really can't understand all this hype about HTML5. It even cannot display proper text on older browsers and devices. But wasn't simplicity and compatibility at the very foundation of HTML? To be able to open and read a webpage no matter where you are or what you're using? Seems like it isn't anymore! Shame!

At least FF is not pulling the plug on plugins(see what I did there) all of a sudden.
