BeOS & Derivatives We all more or less hate Adobe's Flash technology for being an immense resource hog and a closed technology. To make matters worse, Flash is horribly overused in places where it shouldn't be used. Still, it's a technology that an operating system really must support in order to be declared usable by modern standards, since several popular websites rely on Flash to work. Haiku is now on the list of operating systems with Flash support.

First, that looks like it was a lot of work to get working. Well done.

Personally, I have been abale to avoid having to use any site that requires Flash to work.

YouTube in particular, I use the Firefox media plugins to point out the direct location of the .FLV files and download them to my machine to play using VLC, and also lets me play them off-line. (This is very useful on days that the internet access seems to be running a little slow).

Still if this does help my get access to CrunchyRoll it will be worth it to me.
