Lately my flash stops working. I thought it was SM 2.39 and
downloaded 2.40 and still acting the same. Any suggestions?
Also with both, my downloader stopped working?
Let me fetch my soapbox!
Flash must die already. And proprietary codecs must die with it.
Might as well kill software patents, while we're at it.
Note: HEVC licensing is a minefield.
The future of the open web is HTML5 <video> embedding WebM using
royalty-free VP10 and Opus. I don't need Flash to watch Youtube.

Other interesting video codecs: Daala, Thor.

Google were accidentally spreading rootkits a few days ago, the adverts
they were pushing turned out to be compromised. The rootkits were then
used to spread ransomware.
I looked the rootkits up, one needed a Java or a Flash vulnerability to
get established, the other used a zero-day Flash exploit.
Of the top 10 exploits last year (or was it 2014?), 8 were Flash. The
top 8. The other two were Internet Exploder.
My PC at work has Flash installed and I can't remove it. I have
disabled it (and Java) in the browser.
