Plugins for Linux and OS X habitually lagged behind.It took Adobe years to port it to x86's successor, the (fortunately 100% backward-compatible) x86-64 architecture.Flash started on Windows on x86 processors, and support of non-Windows platforms that weren't Macs was poor to non-existent.In fact, the plugin was such a huge problem in terms of security that it was deprecated in the mid-2010s, and eventually discontinued entirely (see below). Flash's browser plugin was a popular target for viruses, being no better than other common plugins.Flash proved popular, however, and eventually they dropped the Shockwave branding. After Macromedia bought FutureWave, they positioned Flash as something of a "Director Lite", most likely to protect Director sales. Macromedia had an existing product called "Director" that was more mature and did some of the same things, and they had developed a browser plugin called "Shockwave" to let people view Director movies directly in their browser. The "Shockwave" brand was something of an Artifact Title even from the beginning.
