   So many bugs to fix

   The idea of a productivity based browser is great but since this browser is still new, it has trouble with a lot of things. Sometimes it doesn't open a new tab when i try, sometimes web apps don't open, and overall its not a smooth experience that i could recommend to people

   🏁 Competitors: Vivaldi, Mozilla Firefox, Brave

   👍 Pros:    Everything you need is in the homepage|Looks really pretty|Focuses on productivity|Has control over ram usage and data|A search option that searches all throughout your history, bookmarks, web and everything

   👎 Cons:    A buggy performance|Short term freezes|Might need some time getting used to the web apps

  Flash on web is dead , yes. But apart from Ruffle you also have commercial solutions from Cheerp Flash. https://leaningtech.com/cheerpx-for-flash/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Why Adobe still can't figure out Flash on WASM?

  From the point of view of Adobe, Flash is a legacy technology. Simply put, there is not enough business to be made with it at Adobe's scale. It is safe to assume that the Flash team has either left the company or moved to other roles in the meantime. The Flash codebase is gigantic, evolved over decades and probably includes IP with non-obvious licensing restriction (RTMP is an example that pops to mind).

• Ask HN: Why Adobe still can't figure out Flash on WASM?
