Perhaps the best, but not the only. Flash i all over the net. E.g to see the weather forecasts from the Swedish Meteorology and Hydrology Institute (SMHI), you need Flash 8. Just a few months ago you needed Internet Explorer as well, but they are aware and improving... But Flash 7 via Opera and Linux emulation in OpenBSD does not cut it, alas :-( > OT noise I know.
