As a programmer, I can't roll my eyes hard enough when I come across Flash on a website. It's counterproductive, it's obsolete, it's an open invitation for security breaches. It's just a no-no all around.

Seems like every time I learn how to use something, they come out with a new thing and tell me the old thing sucks. 🙄

Lol, next you'd probably say that I should stop using my AOL email account.😆

Not gonna lie, I kinda miss some of the old Flash games from back in the day. Sure, it was a pain and had its issues, but there were some gems on those old sites.

Professional web dev here. Couldn't agree more, the persistence of Flash is mind-blowing. It's not just about moving with the times either, it's a matter of security and efficiency. HTML5, CSS3 & JS are where it's at now.

Wait, is that why my computer gets so slow when I visit some sites? New to this stuff – is there a way to turn flash off completely?

Yeah dude, anyone still stuck on Flash needs a reality check! I mean, they stopped supporting it and it's not getting security updates anymore. Talk about a hacker's paradise!
