"Occupy Flash" campaign urges users to uninstall Adobe Flash plugin (arstechnica.com)

This is a silly movement. Flash isn't going anywhere, and there's no reason for it to. "HTML5" isn't finalized, well supported, and is (in my experience) almost always slower than the equivalent Flash code. Flash is supposedly bringing fullscreen support and right-click functionality too, one of my biggest gripes with the technology.

I support open source, I want HTML5 to replace Flash, but we're not nearly there yet. Wait for the technology to mature.

Shouldn't this be named "Unoccupy Flash" or just "Uninstall Flash"? It seems silly to use "Occupy" in this context.

How Occupy Wall Street and Flash are related is beyond me. Seems to me this group is over-zealous in their crusade to eliminate Flash, their near-religious devotion clouding their judgement.

This 'occupy' meme needs to die.

Also, like it or not, HTML5 is not yet ready to replace Flash (both in the technologies it makes available and the level of adoption). Let's get there first.

'Occupy' is taken. What's more, it's taken by people fighting a fight that is not unimportant, banal dribblings.

And now there's also an Occupy HTML movement, granted a bit more level-headed in their approach.

"Flash...is holding the web back". If anything, the Flash plugin has been helping to provide the roadmap for new html features for the past 5 years.

If I occupy it, shouldn't I install it? I'm confused..

A sad initiative by a bunch of sad people hating for the sake of hating.

Wonder why they're anonymous.
