How many Optional offers would you tolerate before you completely abandon software?

There used to be just one optional offer and adobe cuck shills would say "you can just uncheck the box".

Now there are two offers. Is is still not a big deal?

At what point do optional offers become malware? 10 optional offers? 100?

It doesn't matter, flash player is already malware without any optional offers

Then why is there still backwards compatibility built in to most modern browsers?

Adobe Flash was always malware and that's why we all fuckin dropped it.
xvideos uses HTML5. Don't bother installing it.

why is it still supported by modern browsers?

If it's software I update regularly, even one borders on being too many. Otherwise I don't care because I'm only having to deal with it once.

Chrome is the most popular browser currently, and it dropped Flash support.

flash is built into chrome

I don't care how many optional features are included in the program for as long as you can one-click prevent installation of these optional features and you will not get any pop-ups suggesting you to download and install those optional features unless you demand to do so by yourself.
Many good freeware and shareware programs are provided at no cost to end-user and they don't have any sort of ads built-in, so for developers those optional features are just a way to make some money.

Still? Chromium comes without Flash out of the box, I always assumed Chrome did so too.

Nor Twitch, despite their optimistic claims to the contrary.

>>54426373
To bad Jobs didn't get his way. He wanted Flash dead by 2014.

I wonder what Newgrounds' plan is now the everyone is moving away from Flash. Haven't gone to NG in 7 years, I used to be a flash animator.

I uninstalled Flash from my private machine. Too dangerous since I use the machine for online banking.
In office I still have to keep Flash installed since our web based CRM software requires it to work (retarded design).

Use livestreamer
>>
>>54428499
If I use livestreamer, does that make Twitch add HTML5 players to their site?

There are workarounds for most everything done in Flash. That isn't the same as the service itself abandoning Flash.

I've already blacklisted three programs I once used daily because they started adding the OpenCandy malware to their installers.
