I am not saying that wasn&#x27;t the intent. What I am saying is the only real guilty one in the Netscape fail was Netscape.<p>The situation was still there when Firefox and Chrome came to play (and I suspect also the intent) and it didn&#x27;t prevent IE to step aside.<p>The same goes to Flash... it is still there because there still are stuff you can&#x27;t do in HTML 5 (streaming live video for instance) and without a real alternative we would have to live with it (hopefully that will change soon)
