I was so glad it died. It was a weird proprietary replacement for Flash, which itself was weird and proprietary, except the new one was owned by a huge company that publicly stated they wanted to crush Linux and friends.

A big chunk of their strategy at the time was around how to completely own the web. I celebrated every time their attempts failed.
