(Thanks to Egnever) Other thread's problem resolved by uninstalling Adobe Flash? What will this do? [View all]

The problem of "Warning: Unresponsive plugin" appears to be resolved by uninstalling Adobe Flash.

So, what will this do/not do for me? I've tried YouTube and the videos work. On Mediaite, a vid from t.v. didn't, error message "A plugin is required."

I hardly watch any kind of videos, but anything else that won't work? What, then, is Adobe Flash for? Is there another Flash product?
