It would be nice if Adobe ditched or deprecated SWF in favor of HTML5 &#x2F; SVG etc.  Flash player has been a huge attack vector for malware and the situation hasn&#x27;t improved.  One thing that continues to irritate me is the extra step required to fool websites into thinking that I am accessing their videos from an iPad before they start streaming over HTML.  In normal mode, they force you to install Flash and the associated risk.
