Chewy, you raise a good point, but Java not being for the general populace? There are plenty of java applets out there for the average person, if you look for them. Also, a lot of people play Minecraft, which requires some form of java. Not gonna elaborate here.
But you did raise a good point with security - I had honestly never thought of that. But isn't Linux largely immune to malware, barring instances that specifically target web browsers or other programs? Should I be looking for an antivirus for my Linux box?
Flash is still a major player in the browsing experience, but I think HTML5 is a rising star myself. Maybe a couple years from now no one will need flash player except for old snippets. But flash still being a major player is my main reason for applauding the inclusion of flash player - Adobe really should lighten up, and I could see them doing that with enough money being involved. I always figured Chrome used a customized Adobe Flash Player plugin. I guess I was definitely wrong there.
