What I did for a few months, was removing all Adobe flash, Gnash and Lightsprak. And what I see is that most sites switch to HTML5 when there is no flash. Games for children is a problem, and here in the Netherlands the sites where you can watch TV. But for the rest... I don't have any flash anymore on my work-computer. And it was the last peace of closed software.
