Is there anything Flash could do that you can't do currently with HTML5 and JS? Is there any reason why browsers should keep it?

Even most games on Newgrounds are in Canvas now.

They can't go back in time, and teach me how to date kagome from inuyasha, or bang the characters from dnAngel like flash did.

True, but Flash can't go forward in time and let you bang anime girls but in VR

Fine you caught me.

wew. Ubuntu can take webm screen records instantly with CTRL SHIFT ALT R. Your trick might have worked on any other board, but on Jow Forums everyone knows how to fast record.

>Is there any reason why browsers should keep it?

TO RUN OLD CONTENT THAT CAN'T/WON'T BE UPDATED. DOES LEGACY SUPPORT MEAN NOTHING TO YOU PEOPLE?

Yes. You can't serve your whole page as a single file that includes all media and code with HTML5 and JS.

Install the plugin yourself grandpa

i havent tried the new html5 programs are they like flash?

That's fine, but the plugin has to be available in the first place.

Newgrounds created a player for that purpose into chrome I believe.

They're not new, there's two things really that make flash obsolete. One is HTML5 videos and the fact that you can customize players with javascript. The other is gaming, basically in javascript you can use this HTML tag called canvas, and it actually fast draws images over and over again. Because of it you can actually copy the image at any given time you're playing. Unity actually has a to canvas generator, you can make games like flash, save in local storage, plus there's even WEBGL which has a few cool experimental games and even VR.

Pic related is actually a game from Newgrounds that I right clicked and pasted here with Jow Forums x extension's image paste ability since it's literally all in image form.

Here you go.

Technically you can if you put it all as an HTML file and add the JS in a script tag.

But why would anyone WANT to do that?

>But why would anyone WANT to do that?
I honestly can't tell if you're retarded or pretending.

>you can if you put everything into HTML.
You can put javascript in, you can't put other stuff, pictures, video, sounds. Theoretically you can embed them into HTML as data: links, but browsers are horribly bad with those, so it practically may not even be possible, it's not space-efficient (gotta encode it in base64 or url) and your page won't work until they all are loaded, unlike with Flash where you can start it while it's still downloading.

You think an HTML page won't load just because the video or image isn't fully loaded? Nigga you retarded?

I'm done here. Try reading, when you have, by all means, please do reply.

Fuck JS. Remember when websites were small and loaded in an instant? Those were the fucking days. I've seen websites loading like tens of megabytes of data lately. Seriously? Get the fuck out of here with that shit. If you can't make your website small and still look sexy, don't ever call yourself a webdev.

Animation tweening

Just ship it as webassembly, with all data being encoded as static variables.

>not space-efficient (gotta encode it in base64 or url)

Additionally the downside is going through hoops to do what is done automatically and works perfectly for Flash.

No way to connect with TCP, websockets are bloated
