Well done, that's not a security flaw at all. Oh, look, I can look straight at the source of HTML5 without decompiling, OH MAH GAWD IT'S A FLAW. No.Quote:

But why replace a technology like flash with flaws and replace it with another technology with flaws?Quote:

It's going to be a while before all sites use it. Also part of the problem is that people are now going to have to learn HTML5 and I gather this will be easy for most, but I'm not a coder so not aware if there is many differences between 4 and 5 that might take someone a while to work out.
I also have another question. With HTML5 will stuff like flash blocking programs actually work. I like the fact like on my mobile, I can decide to only turn flash on when I allow it e.g. the site is trying to show a flash video do you want to allow or block it - This might be annoying for people but its handy for avoiding dodgy sites.

That is hardly a security flaw.Quote:

More a flaw with Habbo by design. Security wise, Habbo is safe - it's the people who use it and may not be able to determine a fake Habbo log-in to a real one. So agreed with this :)Quote:

The browser *does* compile this at runtime, and yes even if you minify users can still unminify and read your source but that's nothing new anyways.
I'm glad flash is going because I've never dabbled in it much and I'm already into using js css and html for web interfaces anyway (I also do believe the js approach is faster and can produce more native looking interfaces in general). Javascript (especially with the jQuery library) > flash in my opinion any day of the week.
I guess "security flaw", is a bad way to put it, but it's obviously not something good.Quote:
