That's because Microsoft EOL'ed IE before Flash started getting used as a backdoor into everybody's computers. Everybody still maintaining browsers banned it and locked it out with updates.

I wonder if, since nobody uses Flash anymore if the hacker community has all moved on and it's "safe" again more or less?

i´ve always thought that flash should have been added (in the sense of not locked out from) to wamcom (and later clasilla) browser.

an opt-in function where you have to allow the use of a plug-in on a per-media basis is enough for safety.

otoh flash is so slow for video that you can hardly use it under OS9...
