    I visit a few sites where, unfortunately, flash is required, so I have my browser configured to prompt if I want to activate it. It’s amazing how many sites show me the prompt, when there does not appear to be any visible flash elements on the page. I’m assuming those sites are trying to store those nasty Flash-based Super Cookies.

    Speedtest.net has just released a beta HTML5 version.
    They took their time.
    Flash is dying out far too slowly.
    “Requires flash” still appears on your screen just when you assumed it was finally dead..
    You won’t find it on Apple devices.
    Steve Jobs barred Flash from all Apple devices over a decade ago.
