Adobe Flash Player was one of his "enemies". Steve Jobs, former CEO Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), refusing from the depths of his being to implement this plugin in iOS for iDevices and this ultimately led to a significant reduction in its use on mobile terminals. Although for years Safari for OS X run the Flash plugin letting it do whatever it wants and run the code anyway, starting with Safari 7 and OS X Mavericks this changes, the adobe flash plugin running in sandobx mode.
Over the last few years, Adobe has protected our Flash Player customers through a technique known as sandboxing. Thus far, we have worked with Google, Microsoft and Mozilla on deploying sandboxes for their respective browsers. Most recently, we have worked with Apple to protect Safari users on OS X. With this week's release of Safari in OS X Mavericks, Flash Player will now be protected by an OS X App Sandbox.
A article published on your own blog, company Adobe announces this change and practically now the flash plugin will be able to run code only based on the permissions set by the system, so that possible malware applications will not be able to affect users. The change is welcome and should have been implemented a long time ago, Apple "joining the world", Google, Microsoft and Mozilla implementing this system quite some time ago.
