    Fast Company[^]:

    Despite industry-wide calls for Flash’s demise, lots of major websites still use the aging browser plugin. and they won’t explain why.

      Any websites that use Flash should be blocked by major ISPs until they remove Flash.

        Flash may be a bad citizen on the web, but this is a sad day that plugins are going away! Apple, well, Steve Jobs, really pulled the wool over the eyes of developers, forcing the no plugin activity that has consumed everybody! Jobs real agenda was to limit innovation, the plugin innovation that is the very reason the internet is as good as it is today. Plugins may cause problems, but they also lead to major innovation, which won't be happening anymore, now that the ONLY innovation that comes will be slaved to browsers makers, when and if they feel the need, which they won't in a standards based world. We will get incremental innovation, but nothing like what Flash, Silverlight and other technologies brought us!

          Personally, I think the WebAssembly[^] initiative holds more promise than all of those combined.

                Your link points only to github. Perhaps you mean this[^]?
