Say Goodbye to Flash Player on Linux

I will stop play online flash games and stop using Google services!
Open Source only from now on ...

Thanks for nothing,
but Adobe flash play is too occupied by the computer resources in linux.

amazing how some corporations shoot themselves in the short term foot...

Time for HTML 5 ... in every way flash just sucks !!!
And for Google, Make your browser better rather than ditching other browsers by cheap acts like this.

What are they ditching ? They are giving ability for everyone to use Pepper-style plugins engine. Mozilla is not interested in it yet, doesn't mean it wouldn't be.

Lets hope HTML 5 and Silver light will completely replace flash

Use Web search engine like: http://duckduckgo.com/

Google and Adobe are just to powerful! You can help them be less powerful by stop using their products!

Now, I have to delete my gmail, google+ and my youtube accout. Time to switch to other service. Long live open source, HTML 5 and linux. And yeah GO TO HE*L GOOGLE CHROME!

Does Google Chrome work for secure site well?! NO! Does Firefox work on secure sites well?! YES. F**k Chrome and Flash (I use FlashBlock anyway :-) ).

But did Google approach them and asked them to ditch Flash for Linux ?

Or Adobe decided to ditch Flash and Google asked them to keep it in Chrome ?

That, we will never know!

This is a good move. In that thay it will we well supported. At the moment Flash Player is just a crap. Pepper-style plugins are multi platform and in all platforms will work the same. Are is still enough time for Firefox /Opera to implement it, and stop crying your heart out for nothing. They could have ditched Linux forever, but they didin't.

From what I understand:

"One of Pepper's big advantages is that plugins have to be less customized for different operating systems. This is why Adobe will able to offer a Pepper version of Flash for Linux, it is virtually identical to the one for Windows and Mac OS X."

The quote above is from an article here on Softpedia. Considering this fact, it is more plausible that Adobe wanted the Flash for Linux development cut (it cuts Flash development costs left and right, and Linux was NEVER a priority for them). And they simply took advantage of pepper api's ability to bundle the existing version of Flash.

Considering these facts, I'm more inclined to think Google had no active part in this.
What do you think Marius ?

1. Flash sucks anyway
2. It's not Google's fault
3. Flash for Linux will be supported for 5 years with security updates, enough time for other technologies to take over
4. HTML 5 !!!

HTML5 is not everywhere on Internet yet. To many places uses flash. The other thing is that when my i5, 8gb ram, nvidia 1gb graphics card can not play WEBM movies without lagging like it was running windows 7 on an Intel 486SX 20MHz 4MB ram... Then you start to see there is a much bigger problem here sadly. You can't set up a small cluster field of servers just for watching a full-screen movie?!? Why in the wide world can we not at least just use the video player plugins from, totem vlc etc? They run full-screen without a hitch.
