Some of you might remember when a 3mb flash animation could pack in some 5 minutes of animation, with the more advanced ones even having chapter/scene selectors, which could also include clickable easter eggs and other kinds of interactions during the scenes.
I had some (but not much) issue back when I used Chrome (although IIRC just as much was a mime-type issue not letting them play in the browser) and still use the standalone player without issue.
I don’t think anyone is defending Flash used for websites, aside from some personal blog or portfolio maybe.
Yes, sorry, I just got a post-traumatic trigger when someone mentions it.
