FreeBSD needs native support from Adobe. Flash, although I dislike it, is needed in modern web experience. Flash works very well on windows, but also on linux and (luckely for me) solaris. No hassle, just download the right flash file for my OS and it works. I hope this day will come for FreeBSD too. I remember from my days using fbsd flash was one of the annoying items to get working. > I have seen too many individuals simply give up on the procedure and > return to using Windows for browsing.

I never was clean longer than a few minutes unprotected. > A simple search of this forum will prove that point out. It just > shouldn't have to be that complicated. It can ruin the experience.
