   Am I the only one that is glad that Adobe is scaling back Linux Flash support to Chrome only? http://ur1.ca/8ayja !dbd !freesoftware

     One less piece of proprietary software in the GNU/Linux ecosystem is good news... HTML5 will fill the void.

     @ryanc Hey if Adobe wants to push themselves out of existence, who are we to stop them?

     Me either, but remember Adobe's PDF enabled unixers to share documents without Microsoft. But yes, flash is evil.

     @kinnerc Sadly, in my experience, #Gnash is not yet mature enough to replace Flash. !GNU

     ♻ @ryanc yeah... HTML5 killed flash anyhow. Let adobe and their flash in the pan die. http://ur1.ca/8ayja !dbd !freesoftware

     @mtlben i'd prefer having a *choice* at least as long as there's flash content out there.

     Someone should really build an on-the-fly Flash-to-HTML5 converter. I heard that Google is building one actually: http://ur1.ca/8c0c8

     @csolisr Swiffy, right? I dont think it converts on the fly. And sadly, its not only videos that require flash.

     @kinnerc Currently Gnash supports up to AMV version 1. The vast majority of Flash files today use AMV version 2.

     @csolisr In 2010 a Flash implementation in JS&HTML5 was released. Gordon. MIT license. Still, non-free scripts in SWFs http://ur1.ca/8c23d

     @csolisr So I was thinking if someone put Gordon in a Greasemonkey script.... and make it work.

     @breadmaker Sadly, no support for AMV2 as of yet.
