All that was done with the hardware survey page [1] graphs can now be down pretty easily with just HTML/CSS/JS such as http://www.chartjs.org/

Obviously this is a minor issue. (But flash is not available on all platforms and will eventually be discontinued on Linux)

+1. All flash videos in the Steam client needs to be replaced with HTML5 video.

I agree. Adobe Flash is dying and Steam should use html5.

Steam already uses HTML5 for videos if you don't have Flash installed, so I can't see why it won't just convert the statistics information over to HTML5. It might take some work, but its totally worth it. I believe Steam also uses some sort of Chromium fork when it browses the Store page, amongst other things. So Steam should be fully supportive of HTML5, since its using a browser thats in the lead of HTML5 support.

It's more important - with Big Picture mode (at least on Ubuntu) it doesn't load the Flash so it's annoying (it asks you to install Flash 6 times but it doesn't work)

Latest versions is no longer using Flash. Thanks!
