But the whole "Flash is for ads"... I'm not from that school of thought.
Personally I don't "care" about ads because I use adblock plus. It is the frivolous use of Flash in place of html that I am against. And the numerous security problems with Flash doesn't help either.

But to go fullscreen on a flash video, it still has to be embedded in a page (typically).
If I can't view it in lynx then it's not a webpage. Simple
