You may not like it, but the internet runs on Flash. Until HTML5 is both standardised and supported well by browsers, it's much better to have Flash than not.
|
I think that this simply isn’t true any more. A few years ago maybe, but every major browser is pushing updates on users and are supporting HTML5 standards; more and more websites are adopting HTML5 (Youtube and Vimeo for example); major operating systems like iOS and Windows 8 are either refusing to support Flash or are sidelining it; and even Adobe themselves are moving to repurpose Flash for purposes other than web design – and they discontinued their Android Flash Player.
The surge in smartphone and tablet web browsing makes Flash more antiquated every day, and the internet is adapting to a more device-agnostic position to compensate.

That's rubbish. Anyone who tells you that you need to root an Android phone is talking through their arse. The only people I know who have rooted their phones are either developers or people who really, really don't like bloatware.

Eh, fair enough. I’m no expert on Android so I was just going off what Nepsotic said.

Here's where Android's customisation is important: You don't like the default browser? Fine, there are 6 great browsers available for free in the Play Store and a fair few more of varying quality with novel UIs. You don't like the keyboard? Try Swiftkey, Swype or any of the others. You don't like the email app, the message app, the calendar app, any of the widgets... just install something new. Android gives options. iOS doesn't.

Customisation just isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, I feel. You can spend forever fine-tuning your device to do everything from tell you when to eat to burn toast, or you can get a device which just goes and does what you need it to with no fuss.
Everyone’s boat is different, and mine floats on simpler waters.

And the only reason that iOS doesn't is because Apple are money grabbing scumbags, but we already know that. And they have a stick up their arse about Samsung Galaxy.

God forbid a company that makes hardware defends its hardware designs.

Seriously though, I don't understand either why not support Flash and/or HTML5.

It’s an interesting perspective, actually.

I think Apple got bashed so badly, that they now support flash.

iOS still doesn’t support Flash, what are you talking about.
