In what world is JavaScript considered buggier than Flash, either in the actual content in the wild or the client-side software rendering/running that content? It wasn't true when Flash died and certainly isn't true today.
Flash was a security nightmare, with all sorts of kludges patched on to try to deal with fundamental flaws in how it handled privileges. If you want to go back to the days where zero click exploits can take over your machine just from a browser visiting the wrong URL, leave the rest of us out of that vision.
Mm, and what makes you think that handing Adobe the keys to control everyone's web experience would make it better?
"In what world is JavaScript considered buggier than Flash" if I have to walk you through this then this conversation is over lmao
