Usage of Flash on websites fell to 20%, down from 25.3% one year ago.

No longer use it in Firefox. One less security hole to worry about.<p>Google singlehandedly solved this for me with youtube by encoding about 80% of the videos in WebM - you just add "ipad" to your useragent for youtube.com using <a href="http://neko.tsugumi.org/UAControl.html" rel="nofollow">http://neko.tsugumi.org/UAControl.html</a><p>Sadly cannot play any vimeo in firefox without flash though :-(<p>Windows XP users will not be able to use the firefox fallback solution for MP4 either (Windows Media Foundation).

I wonder if there is a "tipping point" at which so few sites have flash, that popular browsers will no longer feel the need to support it, resulting in an ecosystem where web sites that want to present themselves to a broad audience have to use some other delivery mechanism - resulting in a rapid drop to 0%.<p>I'm wondering if the iPad marketshare (in a few years) would be sufficient enough to push the market over the edge.

Putting aside the technical issues, this is an awesome development, if you're blind or require a screen reader or other alternate input/consumption device to use the Web. Flash sites nearly always had extremely horrible usability for that part of the population.

I would be curious to know how much of this 20% is for actual content vs. usage for web sockets, copy-to-clipboard, etc.
