Why don't you complain to websites still using flash. Send them emails saying they shouldn't use it any more. There are plenty of HTML 5 alternatives and as much as I hate to say it moonlight works very well for any silverlight content without DRM.

Hi Stack,

So far, it is only annoying. Eventually I hope everyone switches over
to HTML5. But, if I have to install Chrome, I guess I will sometime
