Probably yeah but I can't believe how long adobe have been criticised for their late and incomplete updates. I can only think they are worried about server overload or are on the criminal organisations payroll. One of the major selling points to me here for chrome is the bundled flash but only because I'm tired of setting flash to check for updates daily rather than weekly and finding plugins a month old on friends windows boxes. OTOH: I don't want a browser to assume I will want to install flash. I like the fact android is fairly timely on plug-in updates in a central location. Quite a mess really which is why it's so annoying that so many exploits are caused needlessly when 99% of the population just want some frames and a bit of sound. I certainly hope Adobe's adoption of html5 doesn't cause the same bloat in a single basket problem! _______________________________________________ dev-security mailing list dev-security@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-security
