The problem with flash is that it was a security, performance and usability nightmare for web browsers.

Yes the games and videos were cool, but 99% of the usage of Flash was awful ads and UI/UX elements.

I just used an click to load flash extension in firefox back then and everything was fine.

  • True.

    That’s basically how h.264 and DRM is being done in the browser for stuff like Netflix, today, right?

For most of Flash's existence on the web, I had my computers configured to block flash. (The block was achieved by removing files IIRC).
