In spite of it all, Craig never quits.

Accelerators for what?

"Yet Amazon's decision is primarily driven by browser makers curtailing what
Flash can do. Apple's Safari and Mozilla's Firefox have limited the plugin for
a while now, but most recently, Google's Chrome has also joined the party."

"In June, Google's Chrome beta channel began automatically **pausing less
important Flash content to boost performance and battery life**. The feature is
enabled by default in Chrome beta for Windows, Mac, and Linux. Google expects
to flip the switch for the Chrome stable channel in... you guessed it,
September."

"In a way, Adobe ensured Flash's death in November 2011, when the company
announced the withdrawal of support for Flash Player on mobile devices."

So, does Craig know what he's talking about?
