Is there life without Flash?

In recent days, many blogs flooded with news about the latest version of the apple device. But this post will not be about it. Anyway, I thought about whether the tablet is convenient to use and what functions it actually performs better. The first of the declared benefits is surfing the web. It is said that to keep the web “in hand” is really inexpressibly comfortable and pleasant, and touching the elements of web pages brings the journey through the network to another level.

An important factor that really scares me of the tablet is the lack of normal support for Adobe Flash. One manufacturer completely refused it, others still do not give the same level as desktops.







It's very simple, now I'll turn off the flash and go through the sites that make up my daily web day. It will be such a narrow-minded review, so forgive me if I repeat someone’s thoughts.



I'll start with the sites in the Speed ​​Dial.

Post office:

Gmail - no change.

Blogs:

Habr - here I come across a review of the Opera Mini with a video. The video is not displayed, the screenshot above. Despite the fact that the experiment with HTML5 Video is included in the Youtube settings, it seems that this video has not yet been converted. No video. IPad 2 video review is also missing. Okay, let's go further.



OMG! Ubuntu - there are no changes on the title page and the main banner is made using Javascript. Nicely. Looked at the posts, everything is great and usable.







Engadget - everything is fine too. Moreover, the video from Youtube was displayed and lost - lucky that the inserted video has already been converted.







Facebook - and again the video. When viewing the friendlines themselves, the changes are not noticeable - even videos inserted from Youtube are displayed as always. And just by clicking (when the clip itself should actually load instead of the static picture) the inscription “Flash Player upgrade required” appears. Frankly, if I felt the lack of viewing this or that review on Habré, then I watch videos from FB brendslents very rarely, so I don’t feel any discomfort (perhaps the most fun screenshot).

News:

Correspondent. No - everything is fine.



Euronews.net - read - please, but you will not watch the live broadcast of the channel.



By occupation, I need to visit the sites of various artists and creative agencies. Here I was waiting for annoyance.

If agencies are already using modern technologies with might and main, artists for some reason really like sites on flash with music and leaving menus. It turned out that some did not open at all.

Findings:

Despite the fact that as soon as it comes to the video, noticeable problems begin. Nevertheless, I did not notice a wild problem in the absence of Flash. The lack of a plug-in did not affect the functionality of most sites at all; menus, posts and banners are displayed correctly, which means they are not made on it.

I thought that I had a strong dependence on this technology, but in fact it turned out the opposite. I am only afraid that all the same it will be an annoying omission, when instead of a video you will need to look at the inscription “Plugin unavailable”. Thus, until the full web on the tablets fail.



And what will those who have already used say?
