    If you’re talking about the protocol that allowed things like flash, that was the right decision and the web is much better off without it. It was a security nightmare and no functionality was lost in the long run.

      No, I’m talking about a whole add-on ecosystem that they killed back then. Flash was always garbage. But, I remember lots of plug-ins like FasterFox just stopped working and some developers felt that porting to the newer API wasn’t worth it.
