I have found that websites that rely on flash are already completely broken, and not just from Linux. Two examples come to mind: * During home schooling a teacher set exercises from a flash based website that the kids could not access. Although presumably this still worked for the teacher. * The (incredibly dodgy) Swann based dvr hardware has a built in webserver that comes up with an error that looks like it might(?) be flash related: "This plugin does not support this browser. Please use the following browser: 1. Internet Explorer 8 and above. 2. Firefox 51 and below. 3. Google Chrome 44 or lower." My generally feeling is that any websites that still require flash are probably not actively maintained anymore, likely to be buggy and have security flaws, and should not be used. -- Brian May <brian@linuxpenguins.xyz> https://linuxpenguins.xyz/brian/
