There's not many major sites running flash left around. &nbsp;It's time to uninstall it.<br><br>Flash was better for us sysadmins who would just not install flash if you needed something to be secured or install flashblock if you needed your old systems to be faster. &nbsp;They've only dropped flash because HTML5 and scripting became capable enough to replace the interactive ads and tracking that were part of flash. &nbsp;You now have to do more to block those ads and tracking.
