    The sooner Flash and Shockwave dies off, the better off the worlds browsing security (and speeds) will be!

    This is one of the reasons I do not have flash player installed in my main browser. doesn't really cause me any issues not having it either. I really hope websites get rid of flash sooner rather than later.

    What happened to HTML5 replacing it? It takes too long!
