--Bob, who remains ever optimistic and naive. Do you mean that there is an open source equivalent to flashplayer which the CBC could have used?
They could use HTML5 video <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5_video>. I did a fresh install of Fedora 21 recently and didn't bother to install the Flash player so I have no Flash support in Firefox. I can watch YouTube videos perfectly well. Vimeo is also fine. Facebook video isn't and many web sites still cling to Flash. For those, the embedded Flash player in Chrome works fine. -- Regards, Clifford Ilkay +1 647-778-8696
