IMHO, it was a severe error of OpenStreetMap to develop Potlatch2 based on Flash (when it was already known that Flash had very severe problems nad has been the target of so many attacks as it was used, before the better standardization of HTML,CSS+Javascript only for obsolete advertizing and tracking technologies today, advertizers no longer use Flash its main current use is now only for poor game apps hosted on Facebook, but many of them are now being redeveloped using HTML5 and the Facebook integration framework). That NPAPI in fact was not specified by Mozilla but comes from another obsolete proprietary browser.įlash itself is about to expire too (Minimalist support by Adobe, no longer updated except for a few security isues) Adobe is also developing now for HTML5/CSS3/Javascript and Flash is outdated (its remaining use is for videos on some sites, but HTML5 offers a better integration of video, Flash is no longer necessary, instead browsers are integrating only the video codecs installed on the system) For more edvanced or specialized editing, use JOSM or another external editor.įlash is also not supported in Windows 10 without IE (Edge also does not suport Flash or plugins, may be it will supporte plugins, but not those based on the obsoleting NPAPI).Įven Mozilla is about to deprecate NPAPI (due to many security concerns) for a more decent integration API.

Keep your current browser, but use iD instead. Why not simply dropping Potlatch because of Flash ?
