Ubiquiti products require it for some functionality, and they're wildly popular for Wifi and wireless ISPs right now.

I actually just filed a complaint on their forums.

http://community.ubnt.com/t5/UniFi-Wireless/BUG-Adobe-Flash-...

Their latest controller (v4?) removed the Flash requirement for both video (playback) and main (maps) IIRC. Do they still have leftover areas that require Flash?

v4 is a long way from being a stable release

wtf are you complaining for? You don't like flash and they are removing it.

ubnt has a habit of not finishing what they start. AirControl 2 is not finished and they're talking about Aircontrol 3. Airvision has been rewritten 3 times in 3 years.

For all I know they're doing Unifi 5 in pure flash. I wouldn't be surprised.

Ah, I was under the impression that they've officially moved it out of the 'beta' naming

What ubnt products require flash? airOS works fine for me without flash.

Unifi 3.x requires flash to manage devices on a map. It's the main screen you see when you log in.

Unifi 4.x is still beta and I'm not sure if it still requires flash (Though for Ubnt stable means beta, beta means alpha, alpha is unlikely to even run.)

Last I checked AirControl did too (managing many AirOS devices)
