      Great that Lightspark is now getting AIR support as Adobe is now abandoning AIR on Linux, so now those abandoned people can use Lightspark.
      However; Flash sucks, AIR sucks, Adobe sucks!

      By the way, how is the support for YouTube and Flowplayer?
      Many porno websites use Flowplayer, and I need Lightspark to be 100% porno-compatible before I can consider it.

        If only porn sites started using html5, flash would soon die

          Yeah, you like porn. We get it...
          Can we have one article about Flash where you don't mention it?

            But thats its main use. If porn websites switched to .webm flash would be obsolete within days.

                It need support for:
                * JW Player
                * Flowplayer

                Then probably most video websites will work.
                People want YouTube, PornTube, Redtube, xhamster, RealityKings, Facebook video, etc.
                People don't give a shit about AIR or silly flash games.

                    I think that's illegal in my country?

                    Anyway, the gopher protocol was never locked up in proprietary software so there's a handful of free clients floating about.
