    Don't ask me. Our company still uses Flash for some legacy things so we had to use Harman's "Packaged Browser" solution. Thanks Samsung.

    well Harman's owned by Samsung so I guess that's not totally surprising given Samsung's dominant presence in the tech world. Weird to think that JBL / Mark Levinson / a million other used-to-be-good brands are also just rebadged Samsung...

    There is a special place in hell for companies who continue to push and support old web standards that should have died long ago haha.

    @rlow that's part of the issue though, Flash was never a web standard, it was the exact opposite!

    @rlow The company I work for is a health care company and it is hard to turn that ship around for some applications. Our developers are getting there...slowly.

    Yeah I was being somewhat facetious. I understand large orgs have a hard time moving away from legacy stuff (I work for one). But if the door was slammed hard on some of this stuff, with enough advanced notice, maybe that would actually motivate them to migrate. One can wish at least!

    Yeah, it's a stop-gap for sure. Just odd to see Adobe Flash installed with a Publisher listed as Harman.
