Whether HTML5 is better than Flash or Silverlight is another issue. The point is, the vast (and as you saw above, it really is vast) majority of sites use Flash. To leave it out in a product is bad enough, but one that is supposed to specialize in web browsing is just beyond ridiculous.

I don't know about you but my main complaint about Flash sites is that they're resource hogs. The CPU usage gets significantly higher than usual. Anytime I come across an obnoxious Flash site, I see that shit spike.
